Longer term webcode.run will make it easy to distribute full working infrastructure, as the notebooks are one-click forkable. But we don't currently have these templates done. So short term, yes, WEBCode.run is low level and technical, but we will start climbing the ladder of abstraction soon. I created a...

I fell in love with Observable reactive literate programming notebooks on the web, and thought, "I wish there was this but for the backend". Well, it's taken me a year to get to this point. WEBCode.run is a serverless environment for Observable notebooks. It's been built carefully to preserve the amazing reactive...
