In their own words
ICEcoder
ICEcoder is a browser-based code editor for building, testing, and maintaining websites. It runs online or offline and is accessed through a modern browser on an internet-enabled computer. Editing tools include live editing, multiple selections, code assist, code folding, bracket matching, and automatic indentation. Its find-and-replace builder searches current or open documents, files, and filenames using plain text or regular expressions. ICEcoder requires an Apache or similar web server and PHP 7.0 or newer. The manual lists Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Internet Explorer 11 or newer. Downloads are offered through Git, Docker, Composer, Bash, ZIP, and EXE formats. Built-in tools include terminal, database, and Git management. Users can install plugins or create custom ones with web languages, though plugin installation requires ZipArchive enabled on the server. It supports multiple users, but provides no security isolation between them and is intended for trusted developer teams. The IDE framework is MIT licensed; some components have separate licenses. Its free plan costs nothing.
