General bugfixes

GitHub API is taken down for maintenance

Fri, 29 Jun 2012 12:26:44 +0100

Due to an issue with the servers we needed to take down GitHub API.

We are working hard to fix our setup and switch it on as soon as possible.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Browser statistics

Thu, 19 Jan 2012 23:12:00 +0000

Below are the top 5 browsers used last week on jsFiddle (this doesn’t count embedded fiddles).

Chrome - 48%
Firefox - 33%
Safari - 7%
Internet Explorer - 6%
Opera - 3%

Which versions are mostly used? Do developers think about the future?

Chrome (official current release - 16)
- 18 - 4%
- 17 - 5%
- 16 - 81%
- 15 - 2%
Firefox (9)
- 10 - 2%
- 9 - 70%
- 8 - 11%
- 7 - 3%
- 6 - 1%
- 3.6 - 4%
Safari represents itself as webkit version, no idea how to read it
Internet Explorer (9)
- 9 - 45%
- 8 - 42%
- 7 - 10%
Opera (11.6)
- 12.0 - 3%
- 11.6 - 86%
- 11.5 - 7%

I like when people use development version of the browser. This means experimenting with the newest features, which pushes the web forward. From above numbers it looks like “Chrome people” are the ones who aren’t afraid to do so - almost ten per cent of them are working on a version which hasn’t yet been released.

Official launching app for Chrome

Install here

Just a launchpad at the moment, but the code is open and you’re welcome to collaborate.

Thanks to drublic.de.

Server upgraded

Thu, 26 May 2011 15:08:58 +0100

Due to a recent growth the server was pushed to the limit. In the last few days more than 10,000 fiddles and 100,000 versions have been created.

During the rush hours you could experience some latency. Even though we’re still in alpha stage we want to provide the best possible service. Yesterday we’ve upgraded the server and we should be faster than ever!

You are a great community of web developers, you deserve great service.

Please let us know if you experienced any problems.

Going commercial

April Fools!

Thanks to anyone who celebrated April Fools Day with us!

There are no stakeholders. There are no Annual Meetings

Stay tuned.

Beta will even extend the features available to free accounts. There will be PRO subscriptions available for users who want even more sweets.

Today was the Annual General Meeting.

Stakeholders agreed that, once jsFiddle goes to beta, all user accounts will be by paid subscription only. Get one now, while they’re still free!

We will post an official document as soon as it will be ready

Perceiving Ajax Performance

Thu, 16 Dec 2010 20:23:57 +0000

About a month ago Piotr (@zalun) gave a lightning talk at London Ajax User Group. Video just got uploaded.

See the presentation on Skills Matter website and download the slides in PDF or Keynote format. You may also want to take a look at the survey.

Basically, delay the XHR Request’s Spinner by 0.4s and your site will “be” faster.

Changelog

Thu, 02 Dec 2010 18:12:00 +0000

New API - POST

New API just landed on the live server. It allows to send a post request containing data to display new fiddle. Feel free to write a plugin or simply use it in your project documentation.

You really should read the documentation first.

Git/Gist API new feature

We’ve added an ability to switch dependencies on (the plugins and libs placed under the framework fields). http://doc.jsfiddle.net/use/github.html

Toggle Sidebar

Simply hit ctrl+shift+↑ (yes, we know it’s not the best shortcut - we will come out with something more suitable soon).

User Interface

Dialog window looks much better now

Share Result added

Setup

HTML 5 becomes the default DocType

Bug fixes

Do not write default CSS code preceeding specific fiddle’s one
Layout breaks when pressing RESET

Keyboard shortcuts for your pleasure

Wed, 20 Oct 2010 10:04:00 +0100
