There’s a bunch of closed-source solutions that rely on other services. I was hoping for a way to just install a package, and then run code. Especially small snippets like print, input and if statements.
So I started building Runno. It lets you embed snippets of code from a few different languages (Python, JavaScript, C, C++ and SQL currently) within your website and runs it all client side using Web Assembly. You can use it without any packages using an iframe, or install the npm package and use it as a Web Component.
Happy to answer any questions you have about it!
I see that you did a lot of work to make it function on iOS. Is there a fallback mechanism for older browsers where this wouldn’t be supported?
I guess it would depend on the browser. There's two different fallbacks for the IO. So if the env doesn't support SharedArrayBuffer it will fallback to using a ServiceWorker hack. If that's not supported it will fallback to using an input prompt. But if the browser doesn't support WebAssembly there's no fallback mechanism.
PS: Thanks!
Great work!
