Motivation and philosophy of codenode

Core ideas, user focused

Getting things done in your web browser is really convenient. Even better, it doesn’t even have to be your web browser. You can use the one at school, work, or your friends laptop to send that important email or update your groups wiki page.

Codenode creates an entire programming environment, in a web browser, so you can run your code anywhere, at anytime.

Take for example a common situation: You are at school or work, and the computer you are on doesn’t have a certain program installed, it’s a major hassle to install it yet again, assuming you have permission to do so, or it ends up installing correctly.

With codenode, your code, data, and extra programs are stored and running somewhere else that you can rely on, just like your email. You simply login to you account and get coding right away.

Core ideas, developer focused

Codenode is a system that allows computation of arbitrary code pieces from a web browser. Along with management of this (remote or local) running code, we aim to present the source and result of these computations, in a clean, modern, and useful way.
