Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about using HCODX for your web development projects.

Is HCODX completely free to use?

Yes! HCODX is 100% free with absolutely no hidden costs, premium tiers, or feature limitations. All features including live preview, multi-file projects, code formatting, validation, minification, obfuscation, and export are available to everyone forever. We believe in providing professional-grade tools accessible to all developers, from students to professionals.

Do I need to create an account or register?

No registration or account creation is required! Simply open the website and start coding immediately. Your projects are saved locally in your browser using IndexedDB and LocalStorage, so you maintain complete control without any login process. This approach ensures maximum privacy and instant access.

Can I use HCODX offline without internet?

Absolutely! HCODX is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that works offline after your first visit. Once the app is loaded in your browser, you can code, edit projects, format code, validate HTML, and use all features without an active internet connection. Perfect for coding on planes, trains, or anywhere without reliable internet.

What programming languages does HCODX support?

HCODX supports HTML, CSS, and JavaScript - the three core web development languages that power every website and web application. You can create multi-file projects combining all three languages with full syntax highlighting, intelligent code completion, error detection, and validation for each language. This covers everything you need for frontend web development.

Is my code private and secure?

Yes, your code is completely private and secure. HCODX runs entirely in your browser (client-side) - your code never leaves your computer and is not uploaded to any server. All processing, saving, and operations happen locally on your device. This ensures maximum privacy, security, and confidentiality. No one has access to your code except you, and we don't collect or store any of your project data.

Can I export and deploy my projects?

Yes! You can export your entire project as a ZIP file containing all your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files properly organized and ready for deployment. The exported files can be uploaded to any web hosting service including GitHub Pages, Netlify, Vercel, traditional hosting providers, or your own server. You can also export individual files or copy code snippets directly from the editor.

How is HCODX different from CodePen or JSFiddle?

HCODX distinguishes itself through complete privacy (code never leaves your browser), offline capability (works without internet as a PWA), comprehensive project management (multi-file support with folders), and professional features all free forever. Unlike freemium models that lock essential features behind paywalls, HCODX provides everything at no cost with no account required. We focus on privacy, offline functionality, and providing a complete development environment.

What browsers are compatible with HCODX?

HCODX works on all modern web browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera. It's compatible with desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. For the best experience, we recommend using the latest version of your preferred browser. The editor automatically adapts to your screen size and device type for optimal usability.

Can I collaborate with other developers on HCODX?

Currently, HCODX is designed as a single-user editor focused on privacy and offline capability. To share your code with others, you can export your project as a ZIP file and send it via email, cloud storage, or version control systems like Git. You can also copy individual files or code snippets to share with team members. For real-time collaboration, consider using the exported code in collaborative platforms.
