The hard part for this kind of tool is to make the mobile experience not awful. I didn't say good, mind you, it's not possible. Writing code yourself on mobile sucks no matter what. But with some tweaks we can make it bearable. One of the tricks is to provide toolbars for hard-to-reach stuff:

When pystebin came out, a reader pointed out some other tools do repl as well. It's a nice idea, so here it is: www.pystebin.com/r/06aa04e6-f747-77…

Pystebin: executable Python snippets running in the browser www.pystebin.com Supports the whole stdlib except networking and GUI. Colors in the terminal, sqlite, hashing, JSON, maths... from Python 3.9 to 3.14, all client-side.

The new blog isn't even out yet and there is already significant traffic, I'm impressed. Of course, some of it is full of bot attacks, just look at that:

Two men sit at a bar with beers. In the first panel, the green man says, 'Computers are amazing, they can do 20 000 000 operations per second, and only one mistake per 10 million operations!' The blue man listens, intrigued. In the second panel, both men pause thoughtfully. In the third panel, the blue man says, '2 fuck-ups a second, that's what you call progress?' while the green man looks surprised

If you even need the bash reference manual in a pinch, you can find it here: www.justice.gov/epstein/file... I know with LLM you need those things less often, but in the improbable case you get stranded on an island...

The aesthetic feels like those old school sound systems, which I always enjoyed. The buttons are a reminiscence of this as well. Lighter, and in plastic, but you just know what to do and what happened. No idiotic false positive with tactile craps, or impossible to remember moves to do basic stuff

This is test data, but even if it's low quality content, it's quite realistic. I would not be surprised and doubt it's a real blog by stumbling upon that. I would not read it, because it's generic and uninteresting, but I would think a human wrote it at a glance. The slop is getting better.

The call of money was too strong, and now everyone is hosting a marketplace, blurring the lines to who you buy from. Seller branding means nothing anymore, and the failure rate is crossing the threshold that makes online convenience worth it. Going back to physical shops when possible.
