Browser-based .NET IDE with visual designer, NuGet packages, code share
Hi HN, I'm Giovanni, founder of Userware. We built XAML.io, a free browser-based IDE for C# and XAML that compiles and runs .NET projects entirely client-side via WebAssembly.

You can edit the code, add NuGet packages, and share your project via a URL. What's new in v0.6: - NuGet package support (any library compatible with Blazor WebAssembly) - Code sharing via URL with GitHub-like forking and attribution - XAML autocompletion, AI error fixing, split…

Firefox in WebAssemblyJul 2026 · developer.puter.com · ▲273This is the entire Firefox browser rendering to a element. Gecko, all UI components, and the Spidermonkey JS engine are all compiled and running in WebAssembly. Here are a few things you might find interesting: - This is fully end to end encrypted! We use the WISP protocol for TCP-over-websockets. - There is a novel WASM->JS JIT for experimental site speedup - This port cost over 25k in opus/fable tokens for debugging and JIT research This was just a fun experiment to push the boundaries of WebAssembly.

Dropbase – Build internal web apps with just Python2023 · github.com · ▲207Hey HN, I’m Jimmy, co-founder of Dropbase (https://www.dropbase.io). We are an internal tools builder for Python developers. All you have to do is import any Python scripts/libraries, declare UI components, and layer app permissions so you can share them with others. We’re a middle ground between Airplane and Retool—simpler UI creation than Airplane, more code-centered than Retool. UI building is declarative and you can bind Python scripts/functions to UI components. You can write Python scripts/functions using our App Studio with support from a Python Language…

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
