SourceLair vs Glitch

SourceLair provides a minimal Django stack which can be used to host projects and see development results right away. Plus, there's a public link that can be used to share with colleagues or team.

SourceLair features a very efficient interface, containing only the tools needed, thus providing focus on what's important - code.

SourceLair lets you log in and sign up with your GitHub account. This enables you to clone your GitHub repos with a single click and start working immediately on them.

Every software project on sourceLair is backed up by the Source Control Manager of your choice; Git or Mercurial. Clone repos, commit, pull and push changes and work with branches on the cloud without having to install and configure anything or worry about compatibility between your Source Control Manager and the system of your choice.

You can split you editor and watch the result of your code in real time.

Perfect for building web applications, be it client-only, server-only, or full stack.

Non-collaborators can't access private data (e.g. API keys) which are stored in a special file, and they are deleted when a project is forked.

Although the only official language/framework is Node.js, you can access the terminal and install other languages via apt-get (as long as it doesn't exceed the storage limit).

If you feel the built-in web editor is not sufficient, you can switch to VS Code and get the full power of its plugins. You still work with the files and server in the cloud, no extra setup required.
