1. 1
   Open-source in-browser code editor/executor with REPL, 10+ languages▲29

   I am super excited to open-source the code executor behind logicboard.com - an in-browser collaborative code editor. The backend is written in Elixir+Phoenix and implements a WebSocket API to execute code in docker containers. Next steps include making this more secure, I am considering Google's gVisor to implement better isolation between containers and the host kernel.
