⭐ Introducing Ethereum Studio
Right now we’re excited to launch v 1.0 of Ethereum Studio: a easy web-based IDE, which lives proper on ethereum.org
Probably the most constant options we’ve obtained for Ethereum.org is to enhance the developer expertise. Whereas the location pointed customers to in depth third-party sources, it lacked a compelling path that will pull a developer in the direction of instantly attempting out Ethereum.
Ethereum Studio’s function is to let builders get began constructing on Ethereum inside minutes, with as little friction as attainable. Studio lets customers:
- Write and take a look at sensible contracts within the browser
- Join sensible contracts to a front-end internet app
- Bootstrap their app with 3 template tutorials
- Share your mission in a single click on
Together with the Studio itself, we’ve added a brand new “Getting Started” web page to the Developer part. This can be a extra newbie pleasant touchdown web page for builders, which introduces the Studio and offers hyperlinks to different web-based studying experiences.
The aim of Studio isn’t to exchange or compete with the in depth web-based studying experiences already accessible for Ethereum. As an alternative, we wish Studio to be a simple first-step to interact a developer and get them hooked earlier than directing them to different sources, instruments, or occasions to proceed their journey into Ethereum.
To construct Ethereum Studio, we collaborated with Superblocks. We are able to’t thank the Superblocks workforce sufficient for the laborious work they’ve put into this software. We additionally wish to thank many others who made this mission attainable: Andreas Wallendahl, Chris Ward, Robbie Bent, Martin Tellechea, and the many individuals who offered suggestions and options.
Ethereum Studio is open-source, and all the code is on the market here. We’ll be persevering with to enhance the Studio over time, and have already got many enhancements deliberate for v 1.1.

🦄 Persona reorganization
Over the previous couple of months, we’ve been attempting to higher perceive the person personas of Ethereum.org. This implies analyzing key phrase search quantity, web site site visitors, contemplating the person personas utilized by comparable web sites, and speaking to our customers.
This course of has lead us to simplify the top-level group of Ethereum.org, to be organized round three core personas:
- People: particular person ETH holders, customers, and group members
- Builders: builders, or anybody with a technical curiosity in Ethereum
