Happy New Year!

This is my first web dev side project and it's in early stage. As an interviewer in the tech industry, I often find myself cannot spot that subtle bug in candidates' code during phone screening, so I build this website which lets me do collaborative editing and also run the code. You may find it useful too.

Please help try it out and provide some feedback. No registration is required (because I have yet to implement the user system).

Cool! What is the difference to e.g. repl.it?

Does it run Python locally in the browser or in the cloud?

It certainly has less feature than repl.it, for example, it does not have interactive repl. It runs in the cloud, in docker containers.

repl.it requires registration.

Interesting project!

Any plans to make it open source?

Do you have any abuse prevention mechanisms implemented? For instance, preventing users from running infinite loops, consuming too much resources and so on?

I built a similar service as a personal project and I am interested how to properly handle situations like that.

No, I don't have plans to open source it currently. I am not sure where open source will take this project to and the source code is a bit messy. I may write about how I built it in the future.

I just posted a Show HN for docker-run[1]. It can be used to implement the code running part for a project like this.

Yes, currently the execution time is limited to 10s and 10s compilation time for compiled languages. Memory limit is 256M. It runs user code in docker container, I leverage docker for restricting resources, more info at https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/resource_constrain...
