A decade-long journey of pushing web development forward: The Brackets story continues with Phoenix Code.
8+
Some stories refuse to end because of the people who believe in them. Brackets was one such story. Born at Adobe,
9+
it wasn’t just a code editor; it was a vision to bridge the gap between designers and developers on
10+
how we build for the web. But when its creators moved on, the future of Brackets seemed uncertain.
11+
12+
Yet, Brackets lived on. Too many people loved it, relied on it, and believed in its potential. From that
13+
passion, Phoenix Code was born—not as a replacement, but as a continuation of everything Brackets stood for.
14+
Join us as we trace this journey from the birth of Brackets to the rise of Phoenix Code—and discover how a
15+
community’s dedication kept the spirit of Brackets alive.

We start this year(2025) with the [release of Phoenix Code 4.0](https://docs.phcode.dev/blog/release-4.0)- as we reach feature parity with Brackets and exceeds it
