History
StackBlitz was released to the public on August 2, 2017 by entrepreneur Eric Simons as an online integrated development environment for creating and sharing Angular and React projects. Prior to launching StackBlitz, Simons had attracted media attention by secretly living at AOL headquarters for two months in 2011 while working on a different startup company.{{cite web |last1=McDermott |first1=John |title=Breaking the Rules: The Young Entrepreneur Who Squatted at AOL |url=https://www.inc.com/john-mcdermott/eric-simons-interview-young-entrepreneur-squatted-at-aol.html |website=Inc.com}}{{cite web |title=Meet the tireless entrepreneur who squatted at AOL |url=https://www.cnet.com/tech/tech-industry/meet-the-tireless-entrepreneur-who-squatted-at-aol/ |website=CNET |access-date=12 May 2024 |language=en}}{{cite web |title=Teen entrepreneur squatted at AOL for two months undetected ... and built a business |url=https://www.smh.com.au/technology/teen-entrepreneur-squatted-at-aol-for-two-months-undetected--and-built-a-business-20120528-1ze96.html |website=The Sydney Morning Herald |access-date=12 May 2024 |language=en |date=28 May 2012}}
In May 2021, StackBlitz released WebContainers, a containerization solution that allowed server-side runtime environments such as Node.js to operate fully with web browsers. The company stated that the technology could boot development environments in less than a second, and was more secure than local environments due to running fully within the browser sandbox.{{cite web |title=Introducing WebContainers: Run Node.js natively in your browser |url=https://blog.stackblitz.com/posts/introducing-webcontainers/ |website=blog.stackblitz.com |access-date=12 May 2024 |language=en |date=20 May 2021}}
Features
StackBlitz offers an online integrated development environment that operates fully within a user's web browser as opposed to a more traditional local development environment. The software primarily emphasizes JavaScript development and has a large number of web framework templates readily available. Other Node.js, Python and PHP projects are also supported.{{cite web |title=Announcing Native Language Support in WebContainers |url=https://blog.stackblitz.com/posts/announcing-wasi/ |website=blog.stackblitz.com |access-date=12 May 2024 |language=en |date=5 October 2023}}
