Friends call me Flip, building CodeSandbox! 🍪🏳️‍🌈
Few things beat the feeling of deploying code and watching the graphs drop.

If that's not enough reason to use OpenTelemetry, I don't know what is!

I just arrived in SF! Anyone wants to meet up or go to any meetup? 😄

🎉 Introducing my upcoming third course, Whimsical Animations!

This course will teach you how to build top-tier animations and interactions using a variety of techniques. ✨

You can join the waitlist on the course’s brand-new site, which is the most ridiculous thing I’ve built in quite some time:
Whimsical Animations
Learn how to create charming interactions and delightful touches using the magic of CSS, JavaScript, SVG, and Canvas. I’m sharing all my tricks in this one!

Created a new template for CodeSandbox that runs a headless chromium browser. It exposes a WebSocket port which you can use to control it.

This is especially useful with CodeSandbox SDK, as it allows you to create snapshottable & clonable browser environments on the fly 😄

It's now possible to access preview URLs for private sandboxes with CodeSandbox SDK!

We also expose a new CLI (`csb sandbox preview-tokens`) to manage preview tokens for a sandbox.

Just published a new feature I'm excited about for the CodeSandbox SDK: Sessions API 🎉

This API allows you to create multiple users in a single sandbox, allowing for collaborative editing and sharing sandboxes publicly.

+ we use the same API at CodeSandbox 😄

Our first weekly release for CodeSandbox SDK is live!

This week we've focused a ton on performance. VM clones are now 2x faster (1.3s) and snapshot resumes are now within a second (0.6s)! Expect some further improvements the next few weeks.

Happy holidays & new years! 🎆

We're starting a new chapter with CodeSandbox! Next to the news of moving and marrying, I promise this is the last big news from me this year 😂.

This is huge for us. We'll have more resources to build and grow CodeSandbox, and I'm extremely excited about CodeSandbox SDK.
Today we have some very big news 🎉

CodeSandbox has joined Together AI and we have joined forces to launch a new product, CodeSandbox SDK!

CodeSandbox will continue to run as normal and we’re making private sandboxes free. Check the details below 👇

Rust is actually a joy to use for web services once you stop worrying, avoid struct lifetimes, and learn to love Rc/Arc/clone

🎉 After six incredible years at Framer, it’s time for my next step.

Today, we’re spinning Framer Motion out as its own independent open-source project, to better serve the whole community.

Introducing Motion. For React, and now, for everyone.

This is so cool: bandysc.github.io/AvaloniaVisu...

Visual Basic 6 editor in the browser. Takes me back to when I learned coding. Designing UI visually and adding logic with code is still so powerful, it was the main inspiration for CodeSandbox at the start

The closest of this on the web is Framer?

any “good ai” starter packs?
Agree, there’s a lot of interesting work and challenges but there’s so much more noise.

I wonder if there’s a starter pack of people doing interesting work in this space.

I 100% agree with this. We needed an orchestrator that understands VM snapshotting/cloning and can spin up a new VM extremely quickly.

We tried different solutions, but ultimately we had to build our own because nothing fit the bill.

Also very cool to see that they’re doing snapshots, hard to manage at scale!
