I came across this app recently. It's cross platform which is nice.

Definitely agree. It’s not “the code has been deprecated”, it’s “your attitude has been deprecated”. One of the big challenges with technology is staying current because it moves so fast. We’ve all seen trends come and go, even outside of software. If it wasn’t evolving we’d be doing something wrong.

The best internet connection in the world can’t help crappy software.

Nice work! I wish I would have come across this sooner or I might not have started building https://webden.dev for the past year haha. PLAYCODE is definitely more robust as far as features (courses, virtual file system, pro version, users, node.js, transpiled projects, etc) but it's cool to see your big focus on speed. The rest of the ecosystem felt so heavy and bloated when I originally started looking.

Also, thanks for sharing your story! Very inspiring!

Shameless plug: this is exactly why I built SimpleStore. An easy way to manage a small store without worrying about the platform changing the rules on you. https://chrisdiana.github.io/simplestore/

That’s what I’d like to think too…but why not then say something about competitors or same industry, etc? It’s so wide reaching the way it’s stated.

Thanks for the tip. Yeah that’s exactly what I was concerned about. I’ll definitely try pushing back and see what happens from there.

I’m more concerned about if I were to join a new company. How would that work? Would I have to disclose that work for 3 months at a new employer?

So cool! How did I miss this?! I’ve been looking for something like this for a while now. Github has been coming out some really great features but sometimes you have no idea they are even available.

Hi HN, I developed WebDen because the landscape of online web fiddles, bins and playgrounds aren't currently optimized for mobile or tablet. The iOS apps in this space have improved but were limited when this project originally started. I hope this is useful for those who may want to play around with web code on the go!
