I really like these code playgrounds but my main issue almost always comes down to flexibility regarding which code I can keep private, which I can make public, and so on.
Just something to keep in mind as you decide to take this ahead.
Now to play with some typescript.
>>> Code snippets you write are automatically saved in a compressed form in the URL. This has a few benefits:
- Your code never leaves your machine unless you decide to share your URL. Since the snippet is stored in the URL fragment (the part after the #), the CodeWich web server doesn't even log your code snippets.
- You don't have to rely on CodeWich's availability. You can download your own copy and run it locally, or host it somewhere you control, and you'll always be able to decode your CodeWich URLs to get the original code.
Codewich reproduced it from the URL?
p.s.: the more I think about it, the more I like it but is there any fear that some programs can't be compressed into a url?
p.p.s maybe not: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/417142/what-is-the-maximu...
I've also provided a standalone version on Github which you can download and run locally or install somewhere in your company's intranet for internal use. It has no analytics and no outside communication.

If there are other ways to support this use case, let me know. I'm open to suggestions.
Really smart and (to me) original.
