Workspaces alternative

Hi everyone, this is a general question. I beg your pardon for my ignorance and for asking this. I am working on a website, following Treehouse's guidelines. I am pleased with the result but their is a 10MB space limitation to what can be uploaded to workspaces. I have no idea about what alternative to workspaces I can use to build a website that requires more 'room'. Thanks

you should download your own text editor. I use sublime text, but there are many out there to choose from.

I agree with Jacob. Sublime Text is a good option (and is my editor of choice). It's $70 but you can use a trial of Sublime for free. I don't think the trial ever expires, but if you want totally free alternatives then Atom is good. It's more user friendly but it's slightly slower. Brackets is another free alternative. All of these will run on your Mac or PC.

If you are learning (or plan to learn) a language that needs to run on a server, like PHP, then you might also check out Bitnami's stacks like MAMP for Mac or WAMP for Windows or whatever is appropriate. These are applications that can give you a 1 click server environment to develop on.
