New Code Playground App not UX friendly on Desktop

Question

On Desktop (SL website), the Code Playground got a new update and it looks similar to CodePen but when copying and pasting my code from an outside source to the Code Playground the code doesn't format correctly and when I try to highlight the areas I want to have laid out properly it automatically moves them in place and then when I take my cursor off it goes back to being messy.

This is very confusing and frustrating. Even shift and tab doesnt help much as you don't know how far back to have to backtab to.

Please revert back to the previous Code Playground thanks.

Try editing (as in selecting large sections and trying to move them left horizontally) my code below (the js section) on the website to see what I mean:

Answer 1

add this to the list of reasons that sololearn should revert to the old system

Answer 2

Again sadly speaking of web 😥 they didn't only break codeplayground, they also broke comments 😢☹ on web. Comments was way better in old web skin Kode Krasher. 😞

Answer 3

Jan Markus thanks will do

Answer 4

Kode Krasher, slide the bars to the left.

Answer 5

yh you can add this reason too:
The accessibility is poor.
CTRL+F couldn't select within my code. It was only searching the main window

Answer 6

Kode Krasher I'm now using https://www.jsbin.com it plays well with android devices. I believe this is a fantastic alternative until sololearn fixes their editor. Let me know what you think.

Answer 7

It's a quirky feature, I don't see the purpose of it but it's not an error. It just shows what you are highlighting and adds a little animation. If you want to move your code to the left just backspace as you would normally do.

Answer 8

Alright, I have to agree, this "code playground" is not good.

Answer 9

I hope I can upvote and downvote on the code playground... That would be good.

Answer 10

Kode Krasher works fine in the chrome windows broswer.. not so much in the chrome android app. But if you're using the phone you should be using sololearn app to access code playground.

Is word press taking over html?
