+====== Vizy's built-in utilities ======
-Vizy comes with some utilities from which you can use to modify, develop, and/or debug code via your web browser.  The idea is that you don't need a text editor, ssh client, or other application installed on your computer/laptop/tablet/phone to make quick edits or investigate issues.  Additionally, with Vizy's [[wiki:remote|remote access]], you can modify, develop and/or debug code from anywhere as long as you have a network connection.
