The editor allows developers to edit text, images, and layouts directly in the preview, preview multiple device layouts, and run commands without leaving the application. The release aims to modernize the legacy of Brackets by integrating AI that can see what the browser displays, not just what the code implies.", "body_md": "### Claude Code\n\nwith Eyes\n\nPhoenix gives Claude Code visual context, so it can see more than just code.\n\nPhoenix gives Claude Code visual context, so it can see more than just code.\n\nPreview phone, tablet, and desktop layouts with one click.\n\nEdit Markdown like a document, not just plain text.\n\nRun commands without leaving Phoenix Code.\n\nEdit directly on the page.\n\nAll new native app for Linux.\n\nMost AI coding agents only read source code.
