Roadmap of 2023

[ije]

• Improve playground - https://code.esm.sh/
  • persist storage
  • preview URL: YOUR-PLAYGROUND.esm.app/
  • share playground
  • add HMR support
  • support Vue.js
  • integrate UnoCSS
  • start templates
• CDNaaS

  const ret = await fetch("https://esm.sh/build", {
   method: "POST",
   headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
   body: JSON.stringify({
     code: `console.log("Hello world!")`
   })
  }).then(res => res.json())
  await import(ret.url) // prints "Hello world!"

• Continue to fix bugs and improve the service stability
• Get some sponsors for the server/storage/CDN cost (Support this project via GitHub Sponsors or Opencollective)

hi I'm willing to work on playground and also check if we can have HMR in playground. Is playground opensource? can I contribute ?

thanks, and sorry we didn't open source the playground since we are planning to add the login system, that allows you to hold the playground forever in our server instead of saving in local storage.

HRM support is in working in progress (including react refresh and CSS reload)

thanks for your hard work I would like to develop something similar to playground for my teaching courses I've worked with monaco editor, would love to be pointed to right direction.

Definitely would like to stay in the loop with this. I run a consultancy out of Portland, Oregon and also am the lead maintainer of the Bridgetown site generator, and in both capacities I would be very interested in helping.

@ije add the feature called url component hosting (talking about bit.dev alternative, for esm.sh) ps: it should serve jsx file for node, deno & bun target, for browsers use https://sucrase.io to parse and allow url query based config for sucrase to choose custom jsxpragma & jsxfragment.

Hey, could you use ace editor instead of monaco editor? Monaco editor is good when you got extensions and stuff, but ace editor is better as it supports android virtual keyboard. I have a hard time using monaco based code editors like vscode on mobile. I would prefer ace editor; it supports basic js syntax highlighting and showing errors. It's lightweight too.
