My Self-Hosted Web-Based Coding Environment
2025-02-13
Tired of Glitch's limitations, the author built their own web-based coding environment. The backend is Django, storing project files locally, with domains handled via a Let's Encrypt wildcard certificate. It features template reuse, live preview, autosave, Makefile builds, and even integrated Elm package installation and shell command execution. Git integration was added, simplifying version control with Jujutsu and leveraging Forgejo's create-on-push for seamless deployment. Currently hosting 80 projects, ranging from experiments to daily tools.
