Some of these are quick one-off experiments, some are tended to and long-lasting. In many cases a single project doesn't cut it. It might be the need for usage examples of a specific library, a group of demos for a workshop or a conference talk, or a set of presets for bug reproductions. Today we are announcing a way to organize such projects into Collections!

This article was written based on our development collaboration with Evil Martians. You can check their technical blog. In this article, I'll tell you a little story: I added an automated caching mechanism to Octokit …and everything went wrong. Thanks to my fantastic misadventures, you'll learn about HTTP caches, how Faraday middleware work, and how to use them to automagically start caching API calls. I was beginning to get very tired, sitting by my computer on the bank, manually caching API responses. Once or twice I peeped into RFC 7234, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a document", I thought, "without pictures or conversations?" But seriously, everything started with

Vite has quickly become the epicenter of innovation in web development. It now powers nearly all major frameworks including Svelte, Vue, Nuxt, Astro, and Shopify's Hydrogen—the first production React framework to natively support React Server Components. Last year StackBlitz became the largest backer of Vite core development. While working with this ecosystem we've become incredibly excited about the progress and collaborations happening. We felt this community's work deserved a dedicated spotlight. That's why today, we are excited to share that StackBlitz is hosting the first ever ViteConf: a celebration of the open web ecosystem, and unveiling a new era of truly instant web development. ViteConf is entirely free and happening live online on 11-12 October. Together with Cloudflare and Netlify, our Co

The conference season has officially begun with StackBlitz getting major shoutouts at OpenJS World and the JSNation Conference. For us it was also a month of two alpha releases: Firefox support and WebContainers API. We are on the roll and we are not stopping any time soon!

Two days ago we announced that WebContainers are now compatible with Firefox. In fact, we soft-launched the alpha version a few weeks ago! We've been working hard for the past months to make this a reality, and we can honestly say that has been both trying and rewarding. Seeing a full Node runtime run on a new browser was well worth the effort, but it's had us toiling down some pretty deep rabbit holes. You see, WebContainers are not your run-of-the-mill web application. We don't render any UI, nor do we have any CSS code. We don't run into the "usual" cross-browser problems with rendering differences. Instead, we make heavy use of message passing, WebAssembly and atomics. We need to pay attention to the precise wording of Web specs and Node's documentation, so we get the behav

Almost exactly one year ago we launched WebContainers, our in-browser operating system capable of running full Node.js toolchains. The ability to instantly build the web using the web struck a chord with developers, and millions of developers now use StackBlitz every month for instant bug reports, live documentation examples, and much more. While WebContainers are built entirely on web standardized APIs like WebAssembly and Service Workers, to date they've been limited to running in Chromium-based browsers due to differences in how these APIs work across different browser implementations. This can be worked around to some degree in userland, but because WebContainers are amongst the most sophisticated applications that run inside browser engines, we needed to team up with platform vendors directly to bring these instan

May has brought us a lot of opportunities to make our community happy: from hosting sessions at Write the Docs conference to finding plenty of StackBlitz specimens in the wild, we feel pampered basking in the warmth of our community!
