LiveCodes
A free, open source online code playground that runs entirely in the browser with offline support and self-hosting options.
About LiveCodes
LiveCodes is a client-side code playground that lets you write and run HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without any server backend. Everything happens in your browser, so your code never leaves your machine unless you choose to share it. It supports dozens of languages and frameworks through built-in transpilers and compilers.
You can use it as a standalone app or embed it into your own site. Features include offline mode via service workers, a resizable editor with syntax highlighting, and integration with npm packages. The project is maintained by the LiveCodes community and is built with web standards, making it easy to self-host from any static file server.
It's a solid alternative to CodePen or JSFiddle for developers who want privacy, offline capability, or the ability to put a code editor on their own documentation pages. Licensed under MIT, free for any use, and no account required.
