StackBlitz is a collaborative online integrated development environment (IDE).[2] The platform allows server-side software such as Node.js to be run entirely in the web browser, enabling fully online full-stack development.[3] A number of web frameworks such as React, Next.js and Angular are supported.[4]
History
[edit]StackBlitz was released to the public on August 2, 2017 by entrepreneur Eric Simons as an online integrated development environment for creating and sharing Angular and React projects.[1] Prior to launching StackBlitz, Simons had attracted media attention by secretly living at AOL headquarters for two months in 2011 while working on a different startup company.[5][6][7]
In May 2021, StackBlitz released WebContainers, a containerization solution that allowed server-side runtime environments such as Node.js to operate fully with web browsers. The company stated that the technology could boot development environments in less than a second, and was more secure than local environments due to running fully within the browser sandbox.[8]
Features
[edit]StackBlitz offers an online integrated development environment that operates fully within a user's web browser as opposed to a more traditional local development environment. The software primarily emphasizes JavaScript development and has a large number of web framework templates readily available. Other Node.js, Python and PHP projects are also supported.[9]
