Napkin Beta - Backend in the browser

Super fun, seamless way to spin up backend functions. Excellent UX and hugely helpful. Y'all rock! 👏👏

Huzzah, @syps @thomaswang Congrats on your launch!!!!!

Used Napkin to - 1. Teach students code with real time deployments 2. Create quick proof of concepts for clients 3. To demonstrate tiny concepts while answering on stackoverflow 4. To carry out a quick task with files in my S3 buckets more usage examples coming, this product solves so much for me I'm overwhelmed! Brilliant stuff. Kudos to the developers

This is great! Congrats on the launch 🚀

any plans for a javascript version? (python free)

Napkin is awesome! It has become my starting point for getting backend for my apps up and running without even thinking about the infra. Great job guys!

congrats on launching this :D

This would've made the learning process for a younger me so much less intimidating. From personal sites to IoT projects, this totally lowers the barrier to entry for backend dev. I think we'll see an explosion of ideas manifest on Napkin, thanks to @thomaswang and @syps 🥳

Interesting concept. I wonder, what if I want to use my favourite code editor (VSCode) instead of the browser, is that supported as well?

Its a nice idea, we made a similar product https://TinyFunction.com I am sure this market is going to pickup soon, for small functions its alot of work to CLI/build/upload etc. Goodluck
