It does things with GitHub gists, i.e: - Upload directory snapshots - Publish & host static websites on a CDN - Create code tutorials - Create & Execute Apps in any of the supported languages And view it from https://gist.cafe/<gist-id> https://gist.cafe/<gist-id> and anyone you share it with can click on the "Edit" icon to download & open it locally in VS Code or their file manager.

It runs small blocks of various types of code on a remote server and let’s you render/embed the results on your page. The demo would probably work better if not for; exit code 134 Unhandled exception. System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (403) rate limit exceeded.

  It's because the server has exceeded its GitHub API quota, have to wait for next hour to be allotted a new Quota.

If you don't know what gists are from the get-go then that's where I'd start. Gists are a separate feature of GitHub where you can share code like if it's pastebin or other similar services, but tied to your GitHub account. This enables you to execute code from gists, which can be written in dozens of languages.

  This! and GitHub lets you basically create your own gists of anything at https://gist.github.com https://gist.github.com

    I use gist personally from time to time to document things I've had to do, though I wish I did it more often. I keep discovering undocumented ways to resolve software problems.

I also didn't get what it does, just reading the homepage content and viewing the examples. And I know what Github gists are (I suppose, are the just text files?)
