Very cool. maybe a way to go to market would be to sell it as a chrome extension to large corporates or even dev agencies by proving it will make their developers more productive?

i.e. spin up VMs for me when I go to any site, not just the sites which have chosen to use devbook.

I reckon that could make adoption a lot faster/easier and also it means the people/orgs directly receiving the value are the ones paying.

That's an interesting idea. Flip the adoption.

One tricky thing is to make sure that the code snippet can actually run. Often you need a bit of a bigger context to run the code. Like env vars or dependencies.
