  • Go Playground Improved
    1 project | /r/golang | 22 Mar 2023
    There's https://goplay.tools/ which has many nice features (code completion and live error feedback), wonder why it's not become more popular.
  • HTTPS Reverse Proxy Using Echo
    1 project | /r/golang | 28 Feb 2023
    Better yet, can you reproduce the problem at, say, https://goplay.tools/?
  • How to test three lines of Go (vscode)
    1 project | /r/golang | 27 Jan 2023
    Or you can go to the Better Go Playground https://goplay.tools. It has intellisense and syntax highlighting.
  • Preparing for Golang Developer Interview
    1 project | /r/golang | 16 Jan 2023
    https://goplay.tools/ has a bunch of great snippets to review
  • Are We Wasm Yet - Part 1
    7 projects | /r/golang | 21 Mar 2022

  • A better version of Go Playground
    4 projects | /r/golang | 28 Feb 2022
    Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. Apologies if my previous post looks like trying to push you into a particular direction; this wasn't my intention. Stay with your roadmap, goplay.tools is already super useful. If I need something extra I should really consider trying to contribute that – although I must admit I don't have much time either. But I'll keep it in mind.
