    Hey everyone, I'm Petr. I'm excited to share LangTale Playground (https://langtale.ai/playground), a first-of-its-kind tool enabling anyone to experiment with OpenAI function calls without coding. Born out of a hackathon project, it's now a part of our broader LangTale platform aimed at tackling common developer challenges with Language Learning Models (LLM). These include prompt integration, testing and debugging, version control, auditing, and usage/cost management. Here's our tech stack: Next.js by Vercel, Tailwind CSS, OpenAI, PlanetScale's Vitess database, and the…

    Inspired by Compiler Explorer and other playground/fiddle websites like jsfiddle, db-fiddle, Go playground, and Rust playground, I thought it would be cool to have a playground for nearly any program so I've been working on Program Explorer: a playground for running programs from containers. I am inspired by these playgrounds because they are great educational tools for quickly experimenting and as communication tools by sharing shortlinks that reproduce bugs for instance. I would love for every open source project that publishes a container to get their own playground for free. I'm…

    I recently spent a week to build this website that gathers most Programming Languages that exist. It is meant to be a place where you can find programming languages specific to your needs. One thing I'd like to add is the relative performance between all of those languages, to have a "Performance" or "Speed" filter. But benchmarks for so many languages is not easy to find. Please let me know what YOU would like to see on such a site. Thanks in advance!

    Kshitij and Rahul here. We're building Playground, an open-source sandbox that lets your non-technical teams prototype directly on production codebases, without bugging you (developers) to spin up and maintain another repo. The repo is here: https://github.com/B1u3B01t/design-playground. We've been working together for six years. Last year we built an AI design agent because we thought designers were the biggest bottleneck. But we were wrong. After talking to teams, we realised designers, PMs, founders and even sales people all wanted to quickly change and explore flows…
