Episode notes

A couple weeks ago stack blitz released this thing called web containers or they've been working on it for a while but they did like a big push to it. A few days later code sandbox release the thing called node box and so let's give it a quick rundown of what these companies are. We actually are going to do an entire show on all of the offerings around this right now because some of them are browser based IDEs and others are remote IDEs meaning that they're running on a server somewhere.

In this Hasty Treat, Scott and Wes talk about two new services that allow you to run Node in the browser, WebContainers + NodeBox. Why Node in the browser? How does it work? And what are the differences and limitations of the services?
