Nodepod
Node.js for inside the browser.
What it does
Browser-native Node.js runtime. Run real Node.js code — filesystem, modules, require(), npm packages, HTTP servers — entirely inside the browser. No backend. No containers. No WASM Node binary. Just polyfills, an in-memory filesystem, and a JavaScript execution engine. Built by @R1ck404 — powering Scelar, the AI app builder that actually COMPLETELY builds your apps, from idea to production in a matter of minutes.

Hi HN! Thanks for your attention to my post. It was a big challenge to run most of Node.js packages in browser, fast moreover. Virtual File system, resolve import/export. I got cold many times, depressions, burned out, yet still alive and finished it. Many guys helped me with an advice. Many users give a lot of positive feedback. There are 200,000 monthly unique users. I work full time now because of the freemium business model. To be honest - I am happy after many years of hard work.

Colin here, creator of Nub. I’ve had the general shape of this in mind for years. Nub runs your code with stock `node`, augmented with a `--require` preload hook[0] that adds a transpiler (oxc-powered, packaged as a Node-API add-on), registers a module resolution hook[1], and injects polyfills as needed for APIs like `Worker`, `Temporal`, etc. All purely additive, your code ultimately runs using Node’s actual engine & stdlib implementations.
