This is the coolest website I've seen in a long time. Awesome idea.

EDIT: one issue I'm running into is it's easy to accidentally write half-finished code that freezes my browser. It would be nice to have an option to only refresh the preview upon clicking some kind of button.

One trick you learn as a dweeter is to write all for-loops as "fr" instead of "for", and then only adding the last "o" when you feel confident that the loop won't accidentally go on forever!

    or the source box could replace 'for' with a loop thats designed to run a few seconds.

Sorry about your lost dweet :( Accidental infinite loops while editing can be a pain. A "reload" button isn't a bad idea, or a "recover dweet draft" functionality.

    I managed to finish one! https://www.dwitter.net/d/714

    More suggestions:

    - in-browser minification tool

    - character counter would count using this output

    - larger textarea

    That way, I can compose without relying on vim + yui-compressor.

    Awesome little site.

      Brilliant dweet! Part of the challenge is the manual minification. A larger textarea might be worth it especially as you can use linebreaks instead of ; for better readability
