HyperDev is definitely a service to watch.

I spent a lot of time with Docker in its early days, and now I work a lot with documentation. I dream of providing my readers with live, on-demand sandboxes they can use to play with our sample code before trying to run it locally.

Lots of services have cropped up in recent years to try and make this dream a reality. Unfortunately, most either require user registration or are defunct, and I suspect it's because preventing abuse and fraud are extremely difficult.

HyperDev is by far the best attempt I've seen yet. It's functional, doesn't require user registration, and provides a full URL I can use with other web APIs.

They're Node-only for now, but they're teasing more languages on Twitter: https://twitter.com/HyperDevIt/status/771766515603533829

I'm certainly rooting for them.




Thanks torkalork! Node.js is definitely just a starting point for us - we plan to support all major backends.
