> - In the middle I tried to implement a full scale map editor. I managed to build a simple yet working one, but dropped the project once I realized that it needs a lot of work to write my own GUI (back then I'm using C++ and SDL2).

Sharing my slightly unrelated experience, but Tiled2D is a nice piece of software to achieve this.

I've used it for one of my personal project, where I wanted to make a digital adaptation of a board game, and I needed to "digitalize" the game board[1]. I don't use the tiles or the tile grid at all, but just the "polygon" feature that allows me to draw the borders of the different regions. It's not at all why the software has been written, as the polygon is supposed to be a small feature to define areas in a tiled game, but it gets the job done.

> Where is the Gist code running, say for a console app?

In a Docker Container under a restricted user.

> Could I use this to securely demo new concepts to long term clients using their privileged data without their in-house IT people raising valid infosec concerns?

Yep! you can download the same Docker Container gist.cafe uses to run a local instance: https://gist.cafe/#local

The code is running in a Docker container under a restricted user which their in-house IT can further isolate by running the local instance in an isolated server.

> Is this the early stages of a new ServiceStack offering, or more of an interest driver?

Nope something created for fun which we needed to create to host Live examples in our own docs ourselves, which IMO others needing to something similar would find useful. I basically had to do a rewrite of https://github.com/ServiceStack/Gistlyn which did something similar but was tied to .NET Framework and used App Domains which aren't available in .NET 5.0 so as part of the redesign & rewrite to use separate processes it was easy to add support for other languages.

> Certainly motivated me to click through to learn more about ServiceStack's products

Awesome!
