Hi everyone, I created this tool called PythonBuddy (http://pythonbuddy.com/ http://pythonbuddy.com/) which allows developers to directly program in python online with a live syntax checker. I made this so that free and open source MOOCs like edX or codecademy could easily embed and use this on their courses so students wouldn't have to go through the frustrations of setting up a Python environment and jump right into Python programming. Also, professors and teachers could easily set up a server and allow students to quickly test out their code with PythonBuddy online. I love feedback so feel free to leave a question or suggestion below And by the way, this is completely open sourced (https://github.com/ethanchewy/OnlinePythonLinterSyntaxChecker https://github.com/ethanchewy/OnlinePythonLinterSyntaxChecke...) so you can host your own PythonBuddy for your class or for fun! :)

Looks good. Nice work! I've not done more than 'kick the tyres' at the moment, but once thing I would suggest is to try and optimize the layout a bit better on mobile. On a tablet screen in horizontal mode, there's a lot of wasted space round the code entry and the output boxes and you have to scroll up and down from one to the other, as they don't both fit on screen at once. How it works on mobile should be a priority, as something like this would be the kind of thing that, more often than not, you'd idly tinker with, while on a phone or tablet
