Sent to you by pixeline via Google Reader: An Interesting Twist on a Pastebin via Ajaxian » Front Page by Rey Bango on 10/9/08 Pastebins have become an important part of sharing code with colleagues. Sites such as Pastebin & Pastie.org are extremely popular because they’re easy to use and very effective in letting people compare notes on source code, especially in a support setting. Remy Sharp wanted to take the pastebin concept a step further, past the static posting of code. His idea, which he tossed around for 6 months, finally came to fruition in the form of JS Bin, a new pastebin site with a twist: JS Bin is a form of paste bin, but with a twist. It allows you to also include the HTML and CSS to provide context to your pasty. As such, it means you can actually run the JavaScript and pass this on to a colleague to help to debug. This is a great idea as it lets you troubleshoot your code while seeing immediate results. The feature list is well thought out as well. - Save private snippet - Remote Ajax debugging - Snippet URLs run entirely on their own (i.e. without the JS Bin framework around them) - Support to quickly inject major JS libraries including jQuery, jQuery UI, Prototype, Scriptaculous, Dojo, MooTools & YUI - Saves state within the open window (i.e. refresh and the code doesn’t reset) The ability to inject many of the popular JavaScript libraries is especially important and I would highly recommend individual project teams to contact Remy directly to have their libs included. To give this a run, I’d suggest going to the JS Bin site and putting it through its paces. In addition, Remy has produced two videos which go into detail on how to leverage JS Bin: - JS Bin Video Introduction - Ajax Debugging Things you can do from here: - Subscribe to Ajaxian » Front Page using Google Reader - Get started using Google Reader to easily keep up with all your favorite sites
