Add 'Code in your browser' functionality #447

After switching from ScraperWiki to Morph.io I am missing one cool feature that ScraperWiki has, thus the Code in your Browser option. So with this request I would like to appeal to add this feature into Morph.io. The current process to debug my code for the scraper is taking me much more time now.

Previously with ScraperWiki With ScraperWiki (1) I logged on to the website, (2) opened my code for the scraper and (3) made some adjustments. After this I pressed the (4) run of save button I adjustments were made and I could see if it was ok. If not I can instantly (5) make improvements.

Currently with Morph.io With Morph.io this process is a bit more difficult. Now I need to have an additional GitHub account. (1) I log on to Github and (2) open my repository were I (3) make the adjustments with the online editor. The (4) I log on to Morph.io and (5) run the scraper to see if the adjustments are successful. If failed, I need to get back to (6) my repository in GitHub, (7) make the adjustments and (8) get back to Morph.io to (9) run the scraper.

But if someone can provide me other information that it can be easier I would like to hear from you.
