What would you use this for?

Sorry, not really treehouse related, but I noticed a project on Kickstarter that lets you edit any website's code. How would this work? I'm sort of confused for what you would use it for, but I think it could be good for playing around with code or something. The link is: http://kck.st/1uhp7A3

Let me know if this would be good help learning HTML or not.

Thanks!

I have no idea why you'd want to do this. If you want to actually edit the code itself, you can use Chrome Devtools. That is a good way to experiment and learn about how existing web developers use html and css. I've learned a few interesting things that way. But this....I don't know. Maybe to trick someone?

No, I don't think that Kickstart would be good to help learn HTML. I recommend you use this website to learn. Currently I'm building a website using this website. If you really want to go around and change what pages look like you can use "Inspect Element", which can be used by right clicking on the site you would like to change. That way you only change the appearance of the website not actually change the real thing. If you changed the real thing its illegal. Remember though of you want to use inspect element you have to know code, which is best learned by building a website on this website. Hope this helps.
