CodePen was founded by Chris Coyier, Alex Vazquez, and Tim Sabat in 2012. The platform was created to address the need for a user-friendly, collaborative space where developers could test and showcase their web development projects without the hassle of setting up a local environment.
Chris Coyier, a well-known figure in the web development community, is also the creator of the popular blog CSS-Tricks, which focuses on CSS and front-end development techniques. His vision for CodePen was to create a tool that complements the learning and sharing ethos of CSS-Tricks, providing a practical environment for developers to apply their knowledge. The founders’ collective vision was to create a platform that would revolutionise how developers write and share frontend code, making the process more efficient, collaborative, and fun.
From the outset, the founders emphasised the importance of community and collaboration. They envisioned CodePen as more than just a code editor; it was to be a social platform where developers could share their work, seek feedback, and learn from each other. This focus on community helped CodePen quickly gain traction and attract a diverse user base. Since its launch, CodePen has evolved into one of the most beloved and widely used tools in the web development community. It serves millions of developers around the world, providing a space for creativity, learning, and collaboration.

CodePen has become a beloved tool among developers for numerous reasons, ranging from its ease of use to its powerful community features.
