Calling all programmers! ๐Ÿ“ž

Hiiiii Glitch community!!!

So, I, @techwithanirudh, and a bunch of other programmers, are working on creating an IDE/community for people to share projects, and have comments. We need help. We need more backend people who can use astro, nextjs, and other stuff. It would be GitHub base with host to-be-determined!

If you are intrested, let me know!

what do you mean by ide/community, something like VS Code or Discourse?

Replit before they removed the community features. Following people. Project commenting, profile commenting, etc.

so a browser extension or a full Glitch/Replit alternative?

Full alternative.

mind sharing the tech stack? e.g. are you going to use, node, bun, python? what database or ORM, is the code editor going to be vs code in the browser or a custom solution?

All that stuff is public on the repo:

We are (ironically) using Replit as we are all on itโ€ฆ sorry Glitchโ€ฆ

i might make my one but different tho. i have some ideas.

Iโ€™m a big fan of not using React where you donโ€™t need it, especially given that the web stack already has components in the form of custom elements. For example, I was doing some experimental work last year that needed a file tree and I could have done that with React, but thereโ€™s no point when custom elements are already built in and work out of the box. So I made GitHub - Pomax/custom-file-tree: An HTML <file-tree> custom element - the same is pretty much true for anything else at this point when it comes to React: it has so many things that you can do with a few lines of real JS that instead need two extra library and a full property cascade that just using the OG web stack, but with all the modern Web APIs, may be (much) easier for folks to jump in on.

That said: good luck, youโ€™ve got a heavy lift in front of you.

oh my god i was just looking for something exactly like that a few weeks ago.

public domain, steal away =D
