   For now. It works in Firefox today (minor issues keeping it feature flagged for now) and Safari is close to shipping WASM Threads, so this will likely work on all major browsers by EOY.

   It's using a custom npm client we've built called Turbo. You can read more about the v1 version of Turbo here: https://medium.com/stackblitz-blog/introducing-turbo-5x-fast... We haven't released any more

   StackBlitz creator here! We actually had been working on SB for over 6 months before codesandbox launched. Not sure why Ives omitted that detail considering he was in this previous thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?i

    You're telling me that CSB hosts a live dev server inside of a service worker that works across browser tabs ? That's patently false. This is ours in action, for reference (was even included in the blog post) -> https:/&

    ...CodeSandbox has no offline support whatsoever. It sounds like your motivation is to promote an unrelated product in this HN thread, and that's super lame :(

    When I say in browser I mean that the browser itself is compiling, bundling, hot reloading, & serving the app — it's not using any resources on a VM somewhere in the cloud.

    From the start, our goal was to port VS Code, NPM, and Webpack loaders to run entirely in your browser and still work offline. With StackBlitz, the browser is installing, bundling, and serving everything — our servers don’t do any of that.

    I think our announcement posts covers this well: https://medium.com/@ericsimons/stackblitz-online-vs-code-ide... tl;dr — we're trying to create the first fully in-browser IDE , not a playground :)

    Thanks! And great question — I don't think we're not targeting that sort of use case unfortunately, but we will allow you to do full git in browser pretty soon here. Right now we only support React & Angular but we're ope

    Updating this with a more eloquent answer (averaging 4 hours of sleep this week, so original comment was not my finest commentary on the matter :) I think tests are a good idea, and I’m a huge fan of TDD in general. Building Conduit impleme

    Then make a pull request that adds TDD. :) But seriously, these apps are large enough where adding in testing initially would only complicate the core mission: to show the common software patterns that are required for day to day developmen

    For sure. My point here is not that firebase is the end all be all, but that when you choose to rely on a technology/PaaS you need to do your own due diligence. Every person, project, company, etc has their own requirements and ability

    OP's problems seem to largely stem from not understanding how to properly use firebase. Virtually all of the "problems" they ran into are covered in the docs and could've been avoided. Further, the claim about no user da
