    Has almost everything I need

    I've started using this as my main IDE for new projects when I'm trying things out. If it keeps getting better at the rate it has been, it'll be even better than coding locally.

    🏁 Competitors: replit
    👍 Pros:    Easy to get started and operate|Fast|Supports common extensions|Works with most npm packages
    👎 Cons:    Still not as good as local development|Can be hard to debug|Build times can be slower than local

  • Jobinterview: Coding test it task to solve before
    Give them the task during the interview but don't make it live, i.e. don't watch while they're doing it. Cos honestly you won't be watching them constantly while they're coding at work. Just give them the task and tell them to just finish it in the given time in the best way they can. For instance in my company I also interview candidates and give them a task at the end. I tell them to use an online IDE... - Source: Reddit / 1 day ago
  • Hidden gems to learn Web Development

They recently got an update introducing web containers that allow you to run Node.js directly... - Source: Reddit / 11 days ago

    People have been using tools like jsfiddle for quick experiments for years, but it's been limited to playing with client-side stuff. However, full-fledged web IDEs were maturing fast in 2022.

  • Why Rust?
    But tools like Stackblitz, which provide fully functional WASM based IDEs in the browser, that do not need a permanent connection to some kind of server infrastructure for handling the real work, are really fascinating. Sure, they are much slower compared to their traditional counterparts and also not super stable and in many respects rather picky. Nevertheless, they are fantastic tools to present code snippets... - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago
