We have announced PlatformIO IDE 2.0 Preview with the first prototype of PIO Home a few months ago. We were impressed how community accepted it. Later, we announced support for PlatformIO IDE for VSCode. As result, a lot of users requested PIO Home for VSCode too.
So, we decided to create a Cross-platform PIO Home 
that will not depend on any IDE and could be used in your browser as a Web-based application. Later, we will integrate new PlatformIO Home into PlatformIO IDE for Atom and PlatformIO IDE for VSCode.

Requirements

- Does not require the Internet (only when searching in PlatformIO Registry or checking updates for libraries/platforms)
- Works with the all popular browsers.
How to start
Please open PlatformIO IDE Terminal and type
# Upgrade PlatformIO Core to the latest 3.5.0 (dev)
pio upgrade

PlatformIO should open PIO Home in your default browser automatically. If it didn’t happen, please navigate to http://localhost:8008 manually.
