#52This is insanely cool. Having worked with SystemJS + JSPM dependency hell in a large project I can't imagine making it all work this seamlessly in a browser.

#53Creator here — thanks for posting our project! For more info, check out my Medium announcement post here: https://medium.com/@ericsimons/stackblitz-online-vs-code-ide... :) Happy to answer any q's & would love to hear your feedback!
Sorry for posting two comments. Could you please explain what is the difference between your project and this: https://github.com/CompuIves/codesandbox-client And this is the online editor: https://codesandbox.io/s/new
From the start, our goal was to port VS Code, NPM, and Webpack loaders to run entirely in your browser and still work offline. With StackBlitz, the browser is installing, bundling, and serving everything — our servers don’t do any of that.
While CodeSandbox is a nice playground for React apps specifically, we have never intended (nor have any aspiration) to compete in the online playground space. We’re attempting to build the first fully in-browser IDE.

#54Very nice! good job. Looks really similar to https://github.com/CompuIves/codesandbox-client though. And this is the online editor: https://codesandbox.io/s/new
We started StackBlitz long before CodeSandbox was released: https://medium.com/@ericsimons/our-goal-was-to-port-vs-code-...

I think our announcement posts covers this well: https://medium.com/@ericsimons/stackblitz-online-vs-code-ide... tl;dr — we're trying to create the first fully in-browser IDE , not a playground :)
The first? c9.io has been around for ages, right.
When I say in browser I mean that the browser itself is compiling, bundling, hot reloading, & serving the app — it's not using any resources on a VM somewhere in the cloud.

Right. Well, from what I can see, even the elements on the page and the offline editor works exactly same as your project. Almost everything, even the `npm install` thing is the same.
All in all, what you have done is great and absolutely useful for quick tests.

#57Looks great, is there any way to add VS Code extensions / configure the build process (linting, testing etc...) / Is that on the roadmap?

...CodeSandbox has no offline support whatsoever.
It sounds like your motivation is to promote an unrelated product in this HN thread, and that's super lame :(

Thanks! We spent a ton of time nailing down perf to ensure it ran fast even on lower end CPU's :)

I think they simply didn't understand the distinction that one runs js bins (npm install, webpack build) on a server, and the other in the browser.
They also might not understand why it matters.
