Docly now uses Microsoft Monaco as code editor and diff tool

We are excited to announce that Docly has upgraded its code editing experience by implementing Microsoft's Monaco Editor, the same powerful editor that powers Visual Studio Code. This change brings significant improvements to both our code editing and diff viewing capabilities.

Key Benefits of Monaco Editor

The switch from Ace to Monaco Editor brings several substantial improvements to the Docly platform.

Monaco offers a more modern and feature-rich editing experience that our users will immediately notice.

  • Enhanced IntelliSense and code completion
  • Better syntax highlighting and error detection
  • Improved performance and reliability
  • Superior diff viewing experience
  • Better integration with AI-powered features

What This Means for Users

Users will experience a more sophisticated editing environment that feels similar to Visual Studio Code.

The new Monaco-based diff tool makes it easier to review and understand code changes, while the enhanced editor provides better support for various programming languages and file formats.

This upgrade particularly benefits our AI-assisted features, enabling more accurate code analysis and suggestions.
