core

Hi- cofounder of StackBlitz here. In regards to my comment 4 years ago, this was in reference to our v1 technology toolchain (turbo npm client, etc) which is all available as open source over at https://github.com/stackblitz/core. In regards to WebContainer, it's still very much in beta and undergoing many internal API changes as we iterate, but we absolutely intend to release an OSS API once we hit GA. Our current docs/developer portal has some additional API/config information on StackBlitz, WebContainer, etc (albeit still WIP): https://developer.stackblitz.com/

I find this technology story a bit weird. Afaict stackblitz is based on WebContainer™ which has a "working group" and is supported in Chrome/Edge so far: https://github.com/stackblitz/webcontainer-core But the FAQ says: Is there a developer API? Not yet. Once we reach General Availability for WebContainer we plan to release an API surface. Is this open source? Today no, but the API will be open source to developers at GA. The closest I can find from Stackblitz is this Github issue where the Stackblitz founder 4 years ago responds to "By any chance, are you open-sourcing the codebase?" with: Definitely! We're planning on open sourcing the core tech behind stackblitz (which is what this repo is for), but there's a lot that needs to happen between now & then. I'm going to fill out the readme a bit which should answer this in detail — will c
