Embeddable Skulpt – Python in the browser for teaching the basics

Trinket shut down on August 31, 2026. Information about alternatives, the open source release, and subscriptions.

Embeddable Skulpt – Python in the browser for teaching the basics launched on May 6, 2014 with 16 votes and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 12 years on.

In plain words

Embeddable Skulpt was a Python learning environment that allowed users to write and run Python code directly in web browsers, designed for teaching programming basics. The service shut down on August 31, 2026, and all user content, accounts, and downloads are no longer accessible. The underlying open source software remains available, and a community-maintained hosted version operates independently at trinket.strivemath.org for those seeking similar functionality.

From the sources

Trinket shut down on August 31, 2026 . The site is no longer operating, and trinkets, courses, assignments, and account data are no longer accessible. Downloads are no longer available. Export tools were offered on the site in the months before shutdown, but they went offline with the rest of the service. We are not able to retrieve content or accounts. These are independent services with no affiliation to Trinket. We encourage you to evaluate whether each fits your needs. A community member at Strive Math runs a hosted version of the open source software at trinket.strivemath.org . It is independently operated and is not affiliated with, supported by, or monitored by Trinket, so we cannot…from trinket.io

    Hi HN, I’m a co‑founder of Embeddable AI. After struggling to add interactive AI experiences to Wix, Shopify, Webflow, WordPress sites, I built this tool to let marketers build chatbots, quizzes or assistants and embed them anywhere with a snippet. Built in React/TypeScript front end and Node.js logic engine. It loads fast and works across CMS platforms. I’d love feedback from builders and marketers on use cases, missing features, or integration ideas.

    Hi everyone! I just released the Practical Python Projects book! (https://practicalpython.yasoob.me) I am happy to announce the first version as a release candidate. I have poured a lot of love into writing this book and would love to hear what you guys think. (A limited 100% off and discount coupons at the end) This is not a pure beginner book. The book does assume some background Python knowledge. You need to know the basics like methods, functions, classes, and such. If I use something that is not typically covered in beginner Python books, I will explain it before I use it.…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
