Praxly

Praxly is an web-based IDE that empowers users to read, write, and run the pseudocode used in the CS Praxis Test. Praxly supports bidirectional synchronization between both block-based and text-based editors, allowing users to learn and visualize the code while also offering the efficiency of editing text. The text editor uses Ace, and the block editor uses Blockly.
