Give http://Runnable.com a shot too :-) It's 100% free, and will remain so.

Cool. What's your business model?

Nice! I like how easy it is to get an example up and running. The in-browser terminal is a nice touch. Two comments

- It would be great to have share buttons so I can tweet examples of awesome code.

- Are you guys thinking of having an 'Import from GitHub' option? I'd love to use this as a REPL for my FOSS projects.

Runnable provides containers across high-performance AWS virtual machines. We launch millions of containers every month. Publishing your own image is as simple as installing packages in our terminal and hitting "publish"

What kind of isolation are you using between containers, if any?

Nice.

The page layout resizes (top banner) every few seconds and crashes Chrome (iPad 2) after about one minute.

Thanks for the feedback. We're optimized mainly for desktop browsers

It will be great to support iOS. I've ended up buying apps that allows writing and running code on iPad and they are not even close to what this site does. Also, if you can support C# and Python, you would have covered a lot of ground.

We support Python http://runnable.com/?filter=Python&page=1

We are considering iOS support

Quick feedback: when you change the filtering on the left hand nav, you scroll to the top of the page. I really don't need to see the huge masthead (on my small Macbook Air, in Chrome, the masthead is over 2/3 of my vertical screen) again on every click. Just scroll to the top of the list/filter section, not the top of the page.

Good feedback. Thanks

I see... it was hidden in that dinky greyed out button that needed to be clicked. I hope your UX is not inspired from Windows 8 ;).

Runnable also has large set of existing frameworks and code that can be spun up very quickly.

+1 form Runnable. I love how well they run terminal in browser.
