Same here. The watch part of my wrist normally wrests on the bottom edge of my Macbook, so I end up lifting my wrist slightly to avoid the band from scratching, which then leads to pain. I've found some luck from wearing long sleeves t

Thanks for the questions! - The javascript and python runtimes are hosted on AWS. With the sandbox editor, resources are shared and code is executed in sandboxed VMs. For signed in users, each user is given a fully isolated environment with

If you're familiar with webhooks, you can code and deploy them easily with Napkin by just writing code in the editor and clicking "Deploy". With other tools, you usually have to install dependencies on the command line or set

Thanks for sharing the stack trace. If you could share your username here or with nick@napkin.io I will dig deeper to see what's going on there. Pandas never fails to both assist and haunt me :)

Thanks for comment, so glad to hear that! We are planning to over team collab features later this summer!

Totally valid concern. We plan to add Github integration soon which will also enable local development, code reviews, etc!

Right now the goal is similar to that of cloud9 - provide an in-browser dev environment for quickly building apps; however, Napkin focuses on the serverless backend function and prototyping use cases. We want to streamline the UI to make wr

The sandbox editor (napkin.io/sandbox) deploys as you type, but when you are signed in, changes are only deployed once you click "Deploy".

Essentially yes. It's an in browser editor that deploys your code as a public API endpoint as you type. It has the functionality of Lambda + API Gateway + Cloudwatch Logs with a lot of other utilities built in to expedite building smal

Unit testing - no unit testing yet but you can test out mock request data by using the Run Options tab in the Napkin editor. Organization - folders and workspaces coming soon, but if you have any other ideas for this we'd love to hear

Thanks a lot! Yes currently those things definitely are beneficial and necessary at production scale; however, we're hoping we can chip away bit by bit at the need to configure these things yourself, starting with basic server(less) co

No boilerplate currently, we plan on adding a lot of examples to the site going forward. For now yes you would install any packages you need as you normally would from the "Modules" tab in the editor. More docs here as well: http

Thanks for the comment! Yes you can use any NPM or Python package capable of doing that in Napkin. One limitation right now is that you cannot send back file data in responses, so you would have to upload to some external store like s3 and

My co-founder and I built https://napkin.io for this reason. We thought the experience of onboarding and stitching together services with AWS was too complex. With Napkin you can deploy a Python API endpoint from our landing pag

We plan to add data storage in the full release very soon! Currently you'd have to integrate with another cloud data store like Firebase. Appreciate the question and feedback!

Hi, HN! I'm Nick and my co-founder, Thomas, and I are building napkin.io to make backend development easier. Napkin is a website that lets you code and instantly deploy endpoints from your browser. We feel building a backend is overly
