What are some good alternatives to JSBin for a minimal JavaScript playground?
Asked by

JSBin returned a 503 error during a technical interview yesterday, so I couldn't use it. What lightweight JavaScript playgrounds or browser-based editors would you recommend as alternatives?
Answers
Browser DevTools’ console is a quick option for testing small JavaScript snippets. It’s already built into most browsers, although it doesn’t feel like a full editor because each line runs as soon as you press Enter.

LiveCodes is worth trying. It’s an open-source, client-side playground with support for JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, and many other languages and frameworks. It should work well when you need a browser-based editor rather than just a console.

MellowPine42: That’s useful for quick checks, but I was hoping for something with a proper editor where I can write a few lines before running them.
