Good point

This is exactly the scenario I pictured
maxim-fin··on Apparently CodePen 2.0 sends data to their servers as you type
Yes, that is for autosave and for rendering

Edit: The point is that any secrets typed/pasted in there should be considered compromized

Yes, absolutely, there are good reasons for that. The point is that any secrets typed/pasted in there should be considered compromized

Edit: but then if you you quit (or crash) without saving the pen first there is no way to recover unsaved work regardless. That is, the pen must be saved manually at least once for the user to benefit from the autosave.

interesting!

CodePen does not disclose this in neither ToS nor in Privacy Policy, only in Builds documentation they say: “As you work on CodePen, your Pens are constantly running through the CodePen Compiler”

Not sure if they are still popular but in the past they may have really slowed down the site

Yes, but codepen is for frontend devs. And devs are more likely to accidentally leak secrets because, well, they have them

Edit: accidantlay -> accidentally

Indeed, it looks like CodePen v1 was sending data to codepen.io, cpwebassets.codepen.io, and cdpn.io. Now v2 sends to codepen.dev

Yes, that is for rendering Edit: and as "kypro" pointed out also for saving the current work but if you you quit (or crash) without saving the pen there is no way to recover unsaved work regardless

No autocomplete involved there.
maxim-fin··on Ask HN: How do you manage skills files?
Nowadays I often create skills myself (or with the aid of coding assisants) for any repeating tasks. For example, I use my own skill to make Claude CLI send the worktree to codex cli for the review, then read the verdict and make changes

Thanks a lot, very much appreciate! Also I must add that 100 daily emails that Resend offers for testing is great. I think I hit the quta only once during development.
