Why use it
A lightweight “Try it yourself” editor, in the spirit of w3schools and CodePen. Every HTML and CSS example in the articles on this site has a Try it button that opens here, so you can change the code and watch what happens. The preview runs in a sandboxed frame, and console.log output appears underneath it.
Console included
console.log output and errors appear under the preview.
Share or download
Copy a link that contains your code, or download a single HTML file.
How to use it
4 quick steps. Going deeper? Read From jQuery to React in WordPress: an incremental migration that doesn't break the site.

Questions
Short answers about privacy, limits and how the tool works.
Is my code stored anywhere?
No. The code lives in your browser. A share link encodes the code in the part of the URL after #, which browsers never send to the server.
Can I load libraries from a CDN?
External scripts are blocked by the site’s security policy, so examples stay self-contained. Plain HTML, CSS and modern JavaScript work fully.
Why doesn’t localStorage or a cookie work in the preview?
The preview runs in a sandboxed frame without its own origin, which keeps your page and the example isolated from each other.
Need a tool like this inside your product?
