Write HTML, CSS and JavaScript and see the result instantly in your browser. No signup, no login, nothing installed. Your code is saved right inside the URL, so you can share a whole project with a single link — a clean, free alternative to CodePen, JSFiddle and CodeSandbox.
When you press Share, your HTML, CSS and JavaScript are compressed and encoded straight into the link. There is no account and no server storage: the code travels in the URL itself. Open the link on any device and you get exactly the same code back. It also auto-runs the moment the page loads, so shared links are instantly live.
