"Great SandBox for learning and teaching alike."
5/5
What do you like best about CodePen?

I enjoy that there is the option to have "Live Coding" sessions so that students can follow along in real time on their browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CodePen?

Over all this sandbox is very well designed, but it does take a little getting used to with their file structure as far as personal forked projects go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Codepen is great but has some drawbacks"
4/5
What do you like best about CodePen?

I love that it's an open playground where anyone can share their projects. It even allows for React projects and has pre-canned options to pull in libraries like jquery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CodePen?

CodePen has a lot of potential but it feels squandered by their revenue model. They used to allow for external links to resources but have restricted that and require you to purchase a paid plan. This makes CodePen useful for anything requiring any content whatsoever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not sure if I like the segmented interface as it limits expressivity - what if they had a auto version where one could just paste in the entire page code (with external js, css links Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Must have tool for coding interviews"
5/5

I have used codepen primarily for coding interviews. It was a breeze and the remote login feature is similar to a google doc but for coding. You have the other user (even from the other end of the world coding real time) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CodePen?

It needs an IDE to run, only if there was the ability to execute it would be ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
