I tried opening JSBin during an interview yesterday, but it was returning a 503 error. What lightweight JavaScript editors or browser-based playgrounds do you recommend as alternatives?

LiveCodes is a solid option. It runs in the browser and supports JavaScript along with many popular frameworks and other languages, so it’s useful when you need more than a basic console.
The browser’s developer tools are handy for quickly testing small JavaScript snippets. You can run code directly in the console without setting up a separate editor.

That works for one-line experiments, but I’m looking for something more like a small editor where I can write and run a complete snippet.
