Why do you make a live HTML5 editor using Node.js but you don't make it work online? I think it would be much awesome and useful if it worked online and you could embed it on any website.
I was thinking on real time examples where you could play around with the code to learn how stuff works. It would be great for learning how to code or for explaining how a library works.

- emrgx 12y agoThat's what I was going for when I made my GitHub Gist viewer (http://thedata.directory/view/10570653 http://thedata.directory/view/10570653) If you have an HTML gist it'll display it when you put the gist number in the path (as in the link above). It will also give you an embed code so you can collaborate.
