Hi, I have had a look and I think it look great - it really fits the format of a set of notes I'd like to share.

One thing is I can't really find docs - I want to add RxJS on the page - is this possible?

Edit: Oh nevermind, I see it in the screenshot on the Github page with the import

Edit 2: Oh actually it's not working:

    TypeError: Cannot set property 'rxjs' of undefined

If I try import { interval } from '...' I get:

   SyntaxError: 'import' and 'export' may only appear at the top level (1:14)

If you are looking for a rxjs playground + visualizer, you might like this tool: https://blog.hediet.de/post/a_typescript_playground_for_rx_j...

That's pretty cool, although I liked Starboard's block UI and ability to add other content (actually it works very like EditorJS, which I built an Angular component around: https://medium.com/@tanepiper/ngx-editorjs-angular-module-to...)

Have you tried the import expression as opposed to the import statement?

E.G. const foo = await import('foo.js');

Same - I wonder if it's because it's some sandbox context and it's trying to bind to window (it's the UMD version)

I've had a look and wasn't able to get it to work yet, imports can be bit iffy: usually anything that exposes ES modules or puts variables on the window object work fine.

It looks like the reason it doesn't work here is because it relies on "this" being the window object. To make top-level await possible your code gets wrapped into a function, and in there "this" no longer points to the window. I am sure a workaround is possible, I'll make a ticket on github.
