Inspiration
I love programming languages and love online code environments so now there's a hackable playground for it with code sharing.
What it does
You're given a javascript console and elements on page that you can directly execute code on. You also can share that code to a Google Spreadsheet that is then read by the site so everyone can share the hacks they've pulled on the site.
How I built it
Google Sheets is interfaced with Via Sheetsu so user can send in code that uses spreadsheet as a database that's then pulled out and read on the site.
Challenges I ran into
I wished to use more programming languages, but creating an environment to run those was not only computer resource expensive but would require lots of custom tooling to have any use outside of some basic text box I/O through to a JSON object. Limiting down to only JavaScript allows the user to truly alter and manipulate the site as one large sandbox without being constrained to a console, but safely tied in to the browser window.
What's next for Hack This Site
Using an API to allow multiple languages to run with their own virtual environments they can interact with. Better search and display ability of the community submissions.
