Have I really been the only one who uses jsbin instead of jsfiddle? It's always been cleaner and, for me, much more responsive. I hope it gets more attention as a result of this.

#12I recall using jsbin a month or so ago and had it fail on some basic JS I had inputted to test it out. Anecdotal and without proof but that is what made me decide on using jsfiddle. Going to give jsbin another try with this new version. *edit: This frustrates me so much on jsfiddle and I'm guessing it's a default browser formatting thing but why don't you guys make the curly braces NOT leap forward from where my curs…
WRT formatting, a lot of JS coders think you should always begin your curly braces on the same line as the statement, not on the next, or you risk the wrath of automatic semicolon insertion. The formatter seems fine if you do it this way, and it's also a generally good idea to avoid bizarre, hard to track down bugs.
But I'd understand if that's not an acceptable answer for you.

#13Nice one. JsFiddle.net actually gives a lot more features. Did I miss anything?

It's a setting in CodeMirror which jsbin and jsfiddle both make use of.
However, if you open the devtools console in your browser, and run: `jsbin.settings.editor.smartIndent = false` it'll disable the indenting. The setting is sticky, so you it should remain whilst the data is stored against the browser.

#15This looks like another great alternative to JsFiddle/Plunkr (both of which are excellent). One question though: why is my download button grayed out?
Download will only be downloaded in the initial state of jsbin - i.e. if there's nothing to download. When you type, it'll save your bin and you can download that. You can also directly access each panel on the url, like jsbin.com/abc.css or jsbin.com/abc.less, etc.

#16I thought I'd post here with some of the features jsbin (version 3) comes with. There's a blog post being prepared too, but pending that.
The big change in jsbin is the live aspect:
* Start typing, your code is saved and continues to save as you type.
* As you type the live output is updated automatically.
* Open the the full preview url (without /edit) in any other window - be it browser or mobile phone, and that will update in real-time too. So you can edit on your desktop, and the rendered output will appear on you mobile devices.
* If you share the url with /watch on the end, people can watch what you type in real time.
More detail will be in the post later today. I'll try to answer more questions here if they come up.
It also continues to be completely open source: http://github.com/remy/jsbin - so welcoming any contributions :)

#17Needs to be clearer how to access the actual site. Took me a long while before I finally saw and clicked edit in the top right.
Yeah, for some reason the url posted was just a full page bin, ie. the output of my saved code. So I've tweaked the page a little so it'll redirect to the /edit version so you can actually see JS Bin.

That's to e.g. return an object though.
On the other hand, allman with anonymous functions? That's completely bonkers-looking.

#19Great work Remy - and works much smoother now than the previous versions
Love the "Convert to" feature with HTML, CSS & JS
Re: New Version of jsbin.com
#20I clicked the link last night, played with it a little, and liked some of the features, especially the column view.
I clicked on it this morning and it loaded the welcome article on the right and html on the left. Good shit!
