    I'm excited to finally share what we've been working on! For the last 8 months, we've been building Biscuit: an all-in-one platform for building a business. Product, payments, emails, hosting and operations built in. Today we're opening the waitlist 🎉

    I got @code working in the browser! This is not only Monaco, this is VSCode itself directly running in the browser with node shims connected to the APIs of CodeSandbox. This means that we can get Grid View, VSCode Extension support, breadcrumbs + more! I'm so excited by this!

    I got VSCode Extensions working in the browser! The extensions completely run in the browser, using web workers instead of node processes. I'm now running 74 extensions, including: - CSS/HTML/TS Language Services - Emmet - VIM Mode - Bracket Colorizer So many new possibilities!

    I've seen far more projects fail from overengineering rather than from underengineering. It's very easy to overengineer and I need to constantly remind myself to keep it simple.

    Things I always need to remind myself of while building something: - Keep it simple - Done is better than perfect - Be pragmatic - Stay focused

    #ReactJS Pro Tip Type react.new in the address bar of your browser. It will open @codesandbox with a new React project. Psst… It works for vue.new too! #VueJS

    VSCode is one of the most impressive codebases I've ever read.

    Most sandboxes in CodeSandbox are stored in a Postgres database. 40M+ sandboxes and 400M+ files stored in Postgres, and we still have performant load times. When going with Postgres, I thought "this is the first thing we'll have to replace". Still didn't happen after 6 years 🤷

    In 2020 Figma started hitting growing pains with their single managed Postgres database. That means they managed to grow to a $2B company on a single mged instance. I bet at they hired engineers around this time who grumbled about not picking a more ‘scalable’ tech.
