Description
It'd be super sweet if touch interaction worked well.
So far, I haven't seen any web-based code editor that supports touch interaction properly, so mobile sites (f.e. accessing Codepen on your phone and editing a pen) are just horrible.
It would be great to have code text editing on mobile web.
