     You cannot currently edit files in Whiteboard. If this is something that you find yourself wanting to do, please file an issue!
   

   Do you still consider this an IDE? Curious

      more than anything it's valid enough as a frame of reference for what many people want to do. if they went and invented a new term for it i'd reckon a lot of people just wouldn't even click on it

         yes, this is tricky and something we’ve struggled with too. We chose IDE because the closest comp is probably VSCode - lots of folks seem to just use it for code browsing / review these days!

         regardless, we ended up renaming “ide” -> “canvas” in on gh + website. hope that’s less confusing. will mull it over in the meantime.
