Thanks bnejad! Overall, what did you think of it?
I think its a pretty cool way to get a quick front end. I don't know exactly the market for this sort of tool but I could definitely see it being useful. One thing though, some of the examples ask for login information to a website to display some metric. This sounds like it would be a good way to steal people's information so you may want to think a bit on maybe warning users not to enter info, or have to option to view the source.
That's a great point. I was thinking about adding a 'view source' on each script's show page.
Make it an option. Someone might want to put API keys or auth tokens in a script.
Ok. I wonder if it needs to be optional if we let you create private, environment variables for your script. Wouldn't show up on view source. Or maybe we do both :).
this is pretty cool! It would be a lot nicer if it had python 3 and maybe some external library support. Also, I imagine most of these 'apps' will be more CLI based, and the output should probably be monospace, so it mimics how it would look in a terminal.
thanks for the feedback! i'm going to put up a note right now with the external libraries we support currently (there are a bunch).
great point about monospace. once we start adding in additional languages, we'll add in versions too.

This is very cool! Bookmarked!
edit: I guess there are examples in the explore tab; carry on! :)
