What it is

This repository is the public home for StackBlitz's bug tracking, feature feedback, and community discussion, not the editor's source code. The README describes StackBlitz as an environment you can run in the browser, and the repo description says it is an online IDE powered by Visual Studio Code. Most people use it through the StackBlitz website rather than installing anything from here.

  • Search existing issues before reporting a problem in StackBlitz
  • Open a new issue to request a feature or report a bug
  • Find the StackBlitz docs for using the editor and its developer features
  • Browse the starter templates and WebContainers repositories linked from the README

Great for

  • People who want to report a bug or suggest a feature in StackBlitz
  • Developers looking for the official docs and blog for StackBlitz
  • Anyone curious about the project's other repositories such as WebContainers and starter templates

Not ideal for

  • Anyone looking for a self-hostable editor codebase: the README does not say this repo contains the editor source, so check the linked repositories first
  • Developers seeking install instructions: the README gives no setup commands
