⭐ Introducing Ethereum Studio
Right now we’re excited to launch v 1.0 of Ethereum Studio: a easy web-based IDE, which lives proper on ethereum.org
Probably the most constant recommendations we’ve acquired for Ethereum.org is to enhance the developer expertise. Whereas the positioning pointed customers to in depth third-party sources, it lacked a compelling path that may pull a developer in the direction of instantly attempting out Ethereum.
Ethereum Studio’s goal is to let builders get began constructing on Ethereum inside minutes, with as little friction as potential. Studio lets customers:
- Write and take a look at good contracts within the browser

Together with the Studio itself, we’ve added a brand new “Getting Began” web page to the Developer part. This can be a extra newbie pleasant touchdown web page for builders, which introduces the Studio and offers hyperlinks to different web-based studying experiences.
The purpose of Studio isn’t to interchange or compete with the in depth web-based studying experiences already out there for Ethereum. As an alternative, we wish Studio to be a straightforward first-step to have interaction a developer and get them hooked earlier than directing them to different sources, instruments, or occasions to proceed their journey into Ethereum.
To construct Ethereum Studio, we collaborated with Superblocks. We are able to’t thank the Superblocks group sufficient for the exhausting work they’ve put into this device. We additionally need to thank many others who made this challenge potential: Andreas Wallendahl, Chris Ward, Robbie Bent, Martin Tellechea, and the many individuals who offered suggestions and recommendations.
Ethereum Studio is open-source, and all the code is accessible right here. We’ll be persevering with to enhance the Studio over time, and have already got many enhancements deliberate for v 1.1.

🦄 Persona reorganization
Over the previous few months, we’ve been attempting to raised perceive the consumer personas of Ethereum.org. This implies analyzing key phrase search quantity, taking a look at web site site visitors, contemplating the consumer personas utilized by comparable web sites, and speaking to our customers.
This course of has lead us to simplify the top-level group of Ethereum.org, to be organized round three core personas:

Thanks to everybody who submitted work!
