JSitor, an alternative of CodePen, JSBin and JSFiddle

JSitor is an online free tool for writing, executing and sharing web and NodeJS snippets. It is a non-profitable product without any ads which gives more editor window to write code.

Key Features

NodeJS and Interactive Shell Terminal

JSitor facilitates the NodeJS environment for writing/sharing NodeJS scripts and installs NPM modules. Also its free.

Monaco Editor

JSitor uses Monaco Editor which is developed by Microsoft and also used in VSCode. If we compare this with other alternatives, they are using CodeMirror and CodeMirror has its own stability and usability issues. Monaco editor is more satisfactory and stable editor compared to that.

Take a look at, how beautiful autocomplete looks like in Monaco Editor, isn't it better?

Comparing with CodeMirror autocomplete
