Remotely linked libraries and other online resources require an internet connection. Export important projects regularly to keep a separate backup. PHP is supported for editing and syntax highlighting only. The app does not run PHP, Node.js or npm builds, and does not provide website hosting. The interactive task-list starter is a demonstration; its tasks reset when the preview reloads.
