Does anyone know of a tool that is just like Scite but a web  
application?

This is the closest thing I’ve found:

[http://www.april-child.com/amy/amy.php](http://www.april-child.com/amy/amy.php)

I’m not looking to deploy apps online like what you do with Heroku,  
but just write and test simple programs and have easy access to them  
from the web.

Thanks!

I was not aware of amy.

It really looks incredibly well done ! (so close to TextMate, I’m not  
sure the macromates guys are so happy about it…).

It’s a full feature editor, in a browser with collaboration support.

Amazing.

I know this is an old thread but I have just tried Amy now. It really  
is quite amazing!
