I built https://RTCode.io to escape their sluggish hell! CodePen has no place in today's world.

- everything is local until you deploy

- with first-class support for

  - connect your AI to playground

    - version-controlled deployments

    - full playground control

    - output viewport size, zoom, color scheme control

    - output eval for rapid development

    - output live capture and image-cropped element/region pins

    - output live stream picture-in-picture to watch your agents work

  - state preserving 2-way IO sync

  - multi-level open shadow root IO sync

  - service/edge workers in the playground (develop full-stack apps in one place)

    - example: https://post.rt.ht

    - example: https://kv.rt.ht/fs

    - examples: https://new.rt.ht
- enterprise-class global network: https://RTEdge.net

  - with built-in auth for deployments: https://elefunc.com/#auth
Too many features to list them all here!

These days, I don't even code in https://RTCode.io myself, I share the playground with Codex/Claude and let them build me my dreams in the form of full-stack apps! I PiP-watch them live on the side as they work and deploy their work with commit messages!

I do the same and truly think others are just control freaks that enjoy restricting agents (human or AI) from being productive and also enjoy keeping their worthless selves in the loop for a false sense continued relevancy.

We all ASSUME that.

For all we know, inference might be dirt cheap, they might just be hiking the API prices so high for us to think subscriptions are subsidized.

I built https://GitFar.com to clone my private repos off GitHub and host them without their limits using 100%-GitHub compatible APIs! It is stateless, and only uses system tools like rg and git! Gives me complete freedom which I can truly enjoy pairing it with ZFS subvolumes tuned for the different content types in my repos (text, images, video, etc.)!

Nothing that claimed to be a better GitHub was even GitHub enough to begin with.

GitFar an internal a drop-in replacement for our devs to just change the hostname and keep using exactly the same APIs with exactly the same request and response shapes with extensions delivered through request and response headers!

Cloak windows from screen capture! Perfect for keeping things private while screen sharing over Teams, etc.! All other tools in the Store would trigger virus warnings when I tried to install them. Some were positioned to ask for money for basic features. My app is both free with more features and a more intuitive UI and set of keyboard shortcuts!

https://zerodevx.github.io/zero-md/ is the real deal. No react bs.

The word Hollywood has such a strong negative charge at this point that I cannot believe they stick to using it in marketing like that.

You can do PQ queries with us at qi.rt.ht!

Which one do you think is PQ-secure?

Re:Objections to systemd age-attestation changes go overboard on Wednesday April 01, 2026 @02:03AM (#47597363)
systemd developers should not get trigger happy and suck up to anyone willing to undermine privacy.
No, they don't! Entitled people doing opinion psyops normalizing overreach is the problem. We are private citizens. Public officers need to be transparent! Not the other way around.
This was a humiliation ritual!

Sure.

Windows 11 has been switching color modes all by itself in recent days! It was due to a new Power Toys component I got through an update.

The playground you asked for has already helped me file and fix a bug https://github.com/yippee-fun/morphlex/issues/38 in my brief review of Morphlex.

Re:Show HN: I made a better DOM morphing algorithm on Saturday November 15, 2025 @09:09PM (#45942151)
Benchmarked Morhplex (this library) against diffHTML:

https://dm.rt.ht/perf

Morphlex is 8→69× faster and 4× smaller!

Re:Show HN: I made a better DOM morphing algorithm on Saturday November 15, 2025 @08:06PM (#45941872)
Filed my first issue https://github.com/yippee-fun/morphlex/issues/38 with its own dedicated lite playground.
Re:Show HN: I made a better DOM morphing algorithm on Saturday November 15, 2025 @07:07PM (#45941628)
This has lots of client-side only use cases too!

See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45941553

Re:Show HN: I made a better DOM morphing algorithm on Saturday November 15, 2025 @06:52PM (#45941553)
See https://dm.rt.ht - a playground for this library!

To see `moveBefore()` in action:

try moving the clock.gif line up/down with Alt+↑ and Alt+↓!

Re:Show HN: I made a better DOM morphing algorithm on Saturday November 15, 2025 @06:38PM (#45941474)
There is one now!

See https://dm.rt.ht

Just updated to demonstrate what `moveBefore()` brings to the table!!

Try moving the clock.gif line up/down with Alt+↑ and Alt+↓!

(it is very nascent, and I am on a plane with shaky Wi-Fi, so I will give it the love it deserves in a couple of days: compare all libraries with each other, add a benchmark, etc.)

Re:Warp Terminal changes pricing model on Friday October 31, 2025 @11:43AM (#45773333)
Just pay OpenAI, Anthropic, Google for your AI CLI tools and use ANY terminal → DONE.

It is going to be way better than boutique integrations like Warp's, Cursor's, etc. anyway.

We do the same over at https://rtcode.io with "Agent Share"!

Instead of containers and "stacks", we use the web platform with vanilla HTML, CSS and JS (front-/back-end in 1 place)!

Deployments go to Cloudflare!

See examples at https://new.rt.ht – service workers you can edit live in the playground with URL imports of ESMs, get deployed as Cloudflare Workers!

Re: on Thursday September 25, 2025 @12:34PM (#45375016)
Cloudflare is launching a stable coin backed by USD!
Re:AI couldn't build my iPhone podcast app on Monday September 01, 2025 @02:19PM (#45095212)
I could build 1 app for both iOS and Android in just 2 workdays with Claude Code about 2 months ago!

That was before Opus 4.1 and Codex CLI with GPT 5 High. It would take less time now.

I would love to have people try building these on https://RTCode.io

The playground has lots of unique features, CLI agent integration for AI to let you collaborate with Claude Code or Codex CLI, etc. You can deploy straight to https://RTEdge.net

The playground has HTML I ↔ O iframe with mostly reload-free 2-way IO sync, built-in service/edge workers with URL imports of ESM, and a whole lot more. You can see some examples under Code > New…

Here is a recent one for accessible multi-OS keyboard shortcuts: https://kbd.rt.ht/?io
