I ran across a couple of issues:

* highlight to copy is broken (I assume because the source is not first-class text and they manipulate the clipboard with JS)

* failing to close the last list item in a ul causes the preview window to stop updating and highlights the next line in the editor but doesn't provide any indication of what is wrong

This is definitely not going to be sufficient for professional programming or web development but it looks and performs far better than similar projects I've seen in the past.

Yeah I ran into that first one too. It actually works, but not via context menu. The ctrl/cmd-c keyboard shortcut works fine, but the Brackets context menu seems to not have it...

The second one sounds like a pretty genuine bug, maybe worth filing over on https://github.com/mozilla/thimble.webmaker.org/issues ?

Agreed that it won't be the tool that professional devs will use to "do their job", but I'm a professional dev, and I've been using it for a while now for my "just for fun" stuff, and loving it. It takes almost no time at all to do even really funky "what the hell are you even doing??" stuff like this: https://d157rqmxrxj6ey.cloudfront.net/mopaxian/817/
