What is StackBlitz?

StackBlitz lets you create and run web development projects in your browser. The free Personal plan includes unlimited public StackBlitz projects and GitHub repositories. Private repositories need a paid user, working with organisation repositories requires Teams, and saving or collaborating needs a GitHub account. Viewing and editing do not.

Pros: what StackBlitz does well

  • Free unlimited public projects
  • Works in the browser
  • Viewing and editing need no account

Cons: where it falls short

  • Private repositories need a paid plan
  • Saving needs a GitHub account

Who StackBlitz is for

Developers and learners who want to try web code without setting up a computer.

Who can skip it

People who prefer a local editor setup.
