    This is cool, I worked on something similar sort of thing over the winter, more focused on a local-first leetcode/coderpad, with a way to execute code in the browser using WebAssembly, and a way to share code over WebRTC

      That's pretty slick! I've avoided digging into project management and code execution so far in order to keep the scope manageable.

      What does the process for adding support for additional wasm-capable languages look like?

        It's a pretty big lift. Python was somewhat easy with pyodide, but I couldn't get Java to work locally. There's a company called CheerpJ that can do it over an API though.

          I think if I was going to look into code execution in Tachi Code, it’d probably as part of a transformation into some sort of remote development experience rather than pursue wasm and all its complexities.

      Looks great!

    great idea! but I've had trouble getting it to work. Try this sample JSON here https://gist.github.com/sunilshenoy/23a3e7132c27d62599ba741b... and click on RAW. Tachi pops up but fails to show the json.

    I'll keep the extension installed for now, hoping you'll patch it.

    Can confirm I use this and it's super convenient to have json payloads open right up in a useful editor
