Code Playground

Safe spaces to break things. Live sandboxes for React, animations, shaders, and more.

Everything is ephemeral until you hit save. Experiment fearlessly, learn by doing, export production-ready code.

⚛️

React Component Sandbox

Live

Live React editor with instant preview. Type-safe props, hooks debugging, and state visualization.

Features

  • TypeScript autocomplete and type checking
  • Hot module reload with zero config
  • Component tree inspector
  • Props playground with live updates
  • Hook state timeline (see re-renders)

Why Use This?

Perfect for prototyping components, testing edge cases, and understanding React's rendering behavior.

🎬

Animation Timeline Builder

Live

Visual timeline editor for GSAP and Framer Motion. Scrub through animations, adjust easing curves.

Features

  • Timeline scrubber with keyframe markers
  • Easing curve editor (cubic bezier)
  • Stagger controls with visual preview
  • Export to GSAP or Framer Motion code
  • Mobile touch gesture support

Why Use This?

Build complex animation sequences visually, then copy the optimized code into your project.

Shader Lab (Three.js + GLSL)

Live

Write custom shaders with live preview. Tweak uniforms, see fragment/vertex code side-by-side.

Features

  • GLSL syntax highlighting and errors
  • Uniform controls (sliders, color pickers)
  • Texture upload and preview
  • Performance metrics (FPS, draw calls)
  • Shader library (glow, distortion, ripple)

Why Use This?

Learn shader programming through experimentation. Build custom WebGL effects without leaving the browser.

📦

Bundle Size Analyzer

Live

What-if bundle calculator. Add/remove imports and see size impact before you commit.

Features

  • Real npm package size lookup
  • Tree-shaking simulation
  • Gzip/Brotli compression estimates
  • Alternative package suggestions
  • Load time calculator (3G/4G/5G)

Why Use This?

Make informed decisions about dependencies. Understand the real cost of that one npm install.

🔍

Regex Workshop

Coming Soon

Build and test regex patterns with visual match highlighting and explanation.

Features

  • Live match highlighting in test strings
  • Pattern explanation in plain English
  • Common regex snippets library
  • Capture group visualization
  • Performance testing (ReDoS detection)

Why Use This?

Stop copy-pasting regex from Stack Overflow. Understand what you're actually matching.

🎨

Tailwind CSS Playground

Coming Soon

Learn Tailwind CSS through interactive examples. Build beautiful UIs with utility classes, see code generate in real-time.

Features

  • Live class editor with instant preview
  • Component library (buttons, cards, forms)
  • Responsive design builder
  • Color palette generator
  • Copy-to-clipboard utility classes

Why Use This?

Master Tailwind CSS by experimenting. See how utility classes combine to create stunning designs without writing custom CSS.

Framer Motion Studio

Coming Soon

Transform code into motion. Create stunning animations with Framer Motion—from simple fades to complex orchestrated sequences.

Features

  • Visual animation timeline editor
  • Gesture controls (drag, hover, tap)
  • Layout animations and shared transitions
  • Spring physics playground
  • Export production-ready code

Why Use This?

Learn how to make interfaces feel alive. Turn static components into fluid, delightful experiences with Framer Motion.

🎯 The Rules

  • Everything is ephemeral until published
  • Mobile-first input design
  • Learning signal over polish
  • Break things without fear

💾 Session Storage

  • Auto-save in localStorage
  • Shareable permalinks
  • Export to CodeSandbox/StackBlitz
  • Version history (coming soon)

🚀 Philosophy

  • Instant feedback loops
  • Zero setup, maximum learning
  • Production-ready exports
  • Learn by doing, not reading

🚧 Building These Playgrounds Now

Each playground will be fully interactive with live code editing, instant previews, and export functionality. Built on real patterns I use in production.
