CodePilot - AI-Powered Code Editor

Project Overview

CodePilot is a modern, web-based multi-language online compiler and editor built with React and powered by Vite, designed to provide developers with a seamless and efficient coding environment. Supporting popular programming languages such as JavaScript, Python, Java, and C++, it allows users to write, execute, and debug code directly in the browser without the need for local setup. With its customizable themes like Dracula, VS Code, and GitHub, developers can personalize their workspace to match their preferred style, while its real-time feedback system ensures instant execution and output for a smooth workflow. The platform's sleek and responsive modern UI, crafted with styled-components, enhances usability and provides a professional coding experience. Navigation is made effortless with react-router-dom, enabling smooth transitions between sections, while react-toastify integration keeps users informed with timely alerts and notifications. Whether for learning, testing, or quick prototyping, CodePilot simplifies the coding process by combining power, flexibility, and user-friendly design in a single platform.
