Val Town is a website to write and deploy code. From the browser, you can make APIs, schedule functions, send and receive emails, store pieces of state, and easily import code from NPM, your own utils, and others as easily as you’d tag someone on twitter.
A personal favourite, highly recommended. Val.town is really open for experimentations, and is just a blast to play with. I'm also super enthusiastic about the future of the platform, this is just the start (see <a href="https://blog.val.town/blog/val-town-runtime-v3-my-mistakes-were-easy-the-solutions-simple" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://blog.val.town/blog/val-t...</a>)

Been following val town for a while, this looks like the ideal way to prototype something on the internet!

Val.town is now my go-to place when I need to make little web utilities and it keeps getting better and easier to use. I've wanted something like this for many years and I'm so glad it's here. In the future, I would love to see vals that function more like apps that can be published and used by others but that I can open up and tweak if needed. This would be really helpful for me, but also people that don't know how to program yet. I also envision val.town being the go-to place whenever I search google for example code.

Val Town has been a great tool for me as an amateur/hobbyist Javascript programmer. I've only done front end web stuff up to this point, but Val Town allowed me to create useful backend tools without having to setup my own server or figure out serverless functions. I was able to quickly made a small but handy Discord bot for a gaming server I help run. It's awesome to be able to do this all through the web. It's not much, but here's a link to the API endpoint I I built for the bot: <a href="https://www.val.town/v/rayman.examplebotMattxendpoint" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.val.town/v/rayman.ex...</a> I was able to instantly fork another user's example to get started. Val Town is an amazing platform for building things quickly and getting the satisfaction that comes with that.

I can't speak highly enough of Valtown. Fun, easy to use, but the composability and advanced features like the key/value stores make it extremely powerful. plus Steve & the team are super responsive & open to feedback

Val Town's design is visually appealing. Can you tell us more about the customization options?

Val Town is a great way to share code, create scheduled jobs, and learn more about programming. I have really enjoyed my time writing code on it.

Absolutely love Val Town -- have been using it to power a few iOS shortcuts for about 4 months now. The founders are incredibly responsive and clearly have a passion for making a fantastic product. Congrats on the launch, team!

Val Town looks incredibly powerful! What kind of data can I store with it? How easy is it to deploy code? What kind of support does it offer? I'm excited to see what Val Town can do!

Playing with val.town I was able to make a bluesky bot (with a cron job that fetches an rss and posts any new message via bsky’s API), and a server-side rendered map, with Observable Plot, of the USGS live earthquake data. Just a few lines of code, zero deployment headaches. Brilliant!

Val town is putting the fun back into coding. You can focus on the fun parts of just making magic happen without all the admin
