Alternative playground idea

Open sulco opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

First of all, thank you for creating such a comprehensive resource and making it freely available! As I often get asked about where to start learning JS, this is constantly in my top 3-4 aswers :)

I wonder, are you open to adding an alternative playground option if it would provide an improved experience for your users?

I'm thinking specifically about StackBlitz, some of the benefits being:

  • no ads
  • familiar editor UI, that a lot of people know from Visual Studio Code
  • support for dark/light themes
  • a possibility to render a Console right in the UI, which could optionally allow replacing alert with console.log for a non-blocking flow
  • a possibility to add Node.js articles in the future, since StackBlitz supports it too (see e.g. https://node.new)

I've made a quick proof of concept of how the experience could look like:

Thanks again, and I'm curious to hear your thoughts!

Kind of a good idea, why not, but needs implementation. Does StackBlitz have an API to upload our files there?
