Show HN: Natto.dev – live spatial JavaScript environment

2 pointsby paulshenover 2 years ago
Hi HN, I&#x27;ve been working on natto.dev for almost two years and it&#x27;s ready for you to use!<p>natto combines ideas from spreadsheets, design tools, and REPLs to create a live JavaScript environment. You can import NPM libraries, create and render React components, and more in a multiplayer (or local account-less) environment. If you login and create a synced canvas, you can invite other users to collaborate with multiple cursors, etc.<p>My favorite feature is opt-dragging (alt-drag on windows) to duplicate panes, making it really easy to try new ideas. You can accomplish something similar with git branch but it&#x27;s not as easy and you don&#x27;t have multiple versions running side-by-side.<p>Check out the gallery for example use cases <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;natto.dev&#x2F;gallery" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;natto.dev&#x2F;gallery</a>. Make personal dashboards. Play with NPM packages and interact with HTTP&#x2F;APIs. Do some prompt engineering. It&#x27;s a great place for the upcoming Advent of Code if you use JS! I did all of AoC 2021 in natto.<p>I hope natto can become a part of your toolkit!
