Sharing snippets with a permalink would be a game changer for this. Right now if I want to send a friend a cool Go example I wrote, I have no way to do it without copy-pasting the whole code into chat. A share button that generates a read-only link with the code and output preserved would make this way more useful for collaboration and asking for help online.

The Monaco editor integration is a really nice touch, feels just like working in a proper IDE without any setup. Love that you can spin up Postgres or Mongo without leaving the page.

How does this stay free given the compute costs of running actual compilers and database instances for every user, and is there any cap on runtime or memory per session?

Tried the PostgreSQL sandbox earlier and it spun up in seconds, which is honestly more than I expected from a no-signup tool. Nice to have the Monaco editor plus the JSON formatter in one spot without juggling tabs.

Finally something that doesn't make me sign up just to test a snippet. The Monaco editor with IntelliSense in the browser is honestly impressive, and the database query tools are a nice touch.

The Monaco editor with full IntelliSense running entirely in the browser is genuinely impressive. Nice work making 80+ languages feel that snappy without any setup friction.
