I was blown away by stackblitz.

Basically VSCode in your browser that can do the following:

  • Works offline (!!!)
  • live-code reload
  • Stupid fast (like faster than npm/yarn fast)
  • url hosting
  • Deploy directly into the cloud

I found out the entire system works by using PWA apis to basically run a lot of nodejs features for vscode in your browser. (which is why it works offline) So there isn't some container running your application somewhere, its all "local" which is why its so fast.

Pretty magical if you ask me :D
