| This looks solid!

| We need a web version of this, running in browser, and that
| allows link sharing (snippet sharing), with added tools like
| postgres query plan visualizer etc.
|
| Then you can even charge for it.
|
| I started doing this, added a bunch of features, but got too lazy
| to add billing and multi tenancy/isolation for it. It was running
| everything (except ping tools) on client by default so it was
| both private and non private depending on which way you want to
| run it. Sharing would allow for collaborating with coworkers...
|
| Happy to talk more if you want, email in profile

| This looks amazing, especially since it includes a REST client.
| Will try it out tomorrow!

| Edit: similar online tool here:

| Hey author here. I am so sorry for releasing untested version,

|
| A few initial observations: the list of languages in the Scratch
| Pad is not correctly sorted. Also the Powershell results for
| errors show the ANSI escape codes. It would be nice if those were
| interpreted and the output colored.
|
| It would also be nice if each editor held on to its text when you
| switch apps. I could see putting some code together in the
| scratch pad or the markdown editor, then going over to a color or
| number convertor to get a result, then going back to what I
| already had in progress.
|
| Altogether though, great start and very nice job!
