Nice to see my playground trending! All of this is essentially made possible by the blink engine by @jart: https://github.com/jart/blink/ Which is an x86-64-linux emulator written in a few kb of c code.

There is no Backend server, everything runs locally in the browser in a runtime that weights less than a screenshot of the website itself!

To implement it I modified the blink emulator to run as a C library, and compiled it into a Typescript + WASM module that exposes an emulator API. Then I built a regular web app on top of it.

Tiny nit! Spelling in your About section:

> Unlike traditional onlide editors
