this summer @val.town had an intern, and he was truly kickass: read about how @404wolf.bsky.social put the @deno.land LSP server in a cloudflare container, made it speak websockets, wired it up to codemirror, and made the whole thing scale: blog.val.town/vtlsp

building a code editor in the browser is hard

huge kudos to @404wolf.bsky.social for making ours so good

this work is open-source, so you too can have amazing autocomplete, type information, go-to-definition, in your codemirror editor

Holiday musing: fixing stuff on prod
I love Val.town for building little experiments and getting them hosted quicky. The fact that you can instantly have a URL to run code is incredible.

I made a @val.town because the IRS doesn't want to send me a notification about 501c3 approval. It checks every couple of hours and sends an email when the org finally shows up in search.

The @vercel.com MCP adapter works with @val.town HTTP triggers (for streamable HTTP at least) meaning you can write and deploy MCP servers with TypeScript instantly, right in your browser!

i highly recommend checking out val town for your server side needs when migrating glitch apps. i already have been using it for a server to my static glitch sites
Moved my first Glitch app to Val Town today. I set up a redirect from the old Glitch to the new Val and everything.

I had three Glitch sandpit websites for creative coding. I’m spinning up a blog just now and it’s fairly easy. Val town seems like a new home for a glitch users. 😻

Val Town has always been inspired by @glitch.com - they paved the way for zero-config instantly-edited websites. It's a bummer that what brought so many people joy and was a great community for diverse communities is coming to an end

So: where does Val Town fit into this?
