Surfboard – CodeSandbox for Arduino
Hello HN! I'm excited to reveal Surfboard to you all! Surfboard is a widget that enables you to share your Arduino code as a URL link or HTML embed. People interacting with your widget can edit, compile and upload the code into their Arduino board--right in the browser. Surfboard supports over 170 boards and over 4,200 libraries, so rest assured you can share quite a large variety of Arduino projects here :) More on tech stack: - Backend is Node.js and Go with MongoDB database, with most of the codebase a derivative of the Duino App project (https://duino.app/) - React…
In plain words
Surfboard is a web-based tool that allows Arduino developers to share their code as shareable URLs or embedded widgets. Users can edit, compile, and upload code directly to their Arduino boards through the browser without installation. It supports over 170 Arduino boards and 4,200 libraries, making it suitable for sharing a wide range of Arduino projects. The platform uses a Node.js and Go backend with React frontend.

P.S. If you live in the UK (esp. London), I'm also looking for a highly technical and passionate partner-in-crime. Send an email to [email protected] with 1) Something amazing you've built, 2) How you got into the hardware space, 3) Contact details and times when I can talk with you.

Hi HN! I made many small web games in the past with Unity or Phaser. But this time I wanted to make something completely on my own. So I coded a basic game framework in plain JavaScript, and used it to make Almost Pong. This was a really fun project that taught me a lot about JavaScript, and I plan to make more minimalist games with this framework. Interesting fact: Almost Pong doesn't load any assets, all sprites and sounds are generated with code. Happy to answer questions, and please let me know if you have any feedback on the game. Thanks!
