Great job, congratulations!

I just played around with it and it's a really fun way to develop endpoints. I probably never had that fast of a feedback loop.

Working in the browser and using the browser's dev tools is also enjoyable. Maybe it's just me but if I have to juggle to many open windows I get confused and lost easily, so that's not an issue here.

What are your future plans with it?

Things like CD/CI or data processing pipelines are also annoying to develop for similar reasons. Lets ditch the YAML and have an environment we can attach debuggers and properly develop. So webcode is a building block to easier to develop future cloud services. Thanks to Observablehq its also very easy to document, fork, and code share. So this is just one aspect of a improved development workflow.

This is absolutely brilliant. A) Notebooks are a great way to explore ideas. B) Serverless tech shouldn't be so damn difficult to experiment with. So it's checking two boxes.

Extra points for the emphasis on Live Coding in the docs. Bravo.
