Initially I thought that the same sort of thing can be accomplished with something like JsFiddle, but then I realized that for more complex libraries or frameworks that require multiple files this would be much better.

Plunker is another good alternative for multi-file code: http://plnkr.co/

The parent site backliftapp.com looks really interesting, like Parse for front-end devs.

I don't Parse well enough to know if the analogy holds, but yeah, I agree that Backflip looks really interesting: Click a button, sync stuff to my local disk, hack at the local files, See the changes automatically at a temporary url.
