Looking for a place to store your scripts? (looking for feedback on a project)

Hi Dev.to community👋
I'm currently working on a new project, and want to ask for early feedback. Do you have a few minutes to share your thoughts?

So, working as a dev for a few years now, I've often faced the need to quickly write and deploy scripts to perform a bunch of tasks: data extraction, manipulation, API translation, computation, ... But it's not easy to find a place to host them 🏠

For sure, spinning up a new server is not a big deal (or, sometimes, it can be), but spinning up a server for a single script is sometimes overkill. I know AWS lambda, Azure functions exist, but they are sometimes hard to manage, and tools like Heroku can be expensive 💸💸

That's why I want to build a tool, which I named jotcode (https://jotcode.io), that helps people to quickly write down some scripts and run them immediately, without having to care about the hosting platform 🚀

Of course, it's still under progress but I would like to know:

  • Is this something you could use?
  • If yes, what do you think about our beta?

If you are interested in following the progress of jotcode, just follow my profile. I'll keep you posted 😉
