About Rendera

Rendera is an online tool you can use to create and test HTML5 and CSS3 features in whatever browser you open it in. While it doesn't work very well as a complete HTML editor (thus only getting 2 stars), it works great as a rendering engine so you can try out new snippets of HTML5 or CSS3 or JavaScript and see how they work in your browser.

Rendera is particularly interesting when you use it in a mobile device like a tablet or smartphone. It has a lot of examples so you can see how to do various things in HTML, HTML5, CSS, and more. And when you use it on a mobile device you can do things like test GeoLocation and watch your location change as you move around with your phoone.
