## What it is
The official editor for Code in the Dark, a front-end coding competition where contestants replicate a page design from a screenshot without seeing live previews. It is a self-contained HTML editor distributed as a single file for offline use in competition rounds.

## Use cases
- host a Code in the Dark HTML/CSS competition
- give contestants an offline editor with no live preview
- run a front-end coding contest round with custom page screenshots
- practice replicating web designs from screenshots
- set up a coding event where participants code blind

## When to choose
- you are organizing a Code in the Dark event and need the official editor
- you want a simple offline HTML/CSS editor with preview disabled for a contest
- you need a single-file editor that contestants can run locally

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose code editor for daily development
- you want live preview or modern IDE features
- you need an actively developed tool with recent updates
