Community Showcase

Hi everyone,

I'm excited to share that Pterocos (https://pterocos.eu.org) now supports Swift! It's a free, browser-based editor that runs directly in your browser with no setup, no signup and no installation.

Key Features:

  • Online Swift editor for quick prototyping and testing

  • Powered by the Monaco Editor (same engine as VS Code)

  • Built-in AI assistant for debugging and code generation

  • Runs code client-side via WebAssembly

Supported Swift Versions:

  • 6.1, 6.0, 5.10, 5.9, and 5.8

It's perfect for trying out Swift snippets, experimenting with algorithms, or testing code across different Swift versions. The project is completely free and open-source.

I'd love to get your feedback on the Swift integration. What features would be most useful for the Swift community?

Cheers,
Amine KHD

First it says

no install, no signup

Then when I try to start using it, it says

Choose a username to get started

Are usernames used on a local device only? Or am I signing up into an online service?

The username dialog box contains links to Terms of service and Privacy policy. When trying to open them in a new tab, the same username dialog appears. Hmm, I would like to read these before singing up, not after.

Edit: Oh, I should've just clicked on them, not trying to open in a new tab.

And your Swift icon contains the wrong bird :face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth: It's... from Twitter :face_with_peeking_eye:

Hello dima,

Thanks for your reply as for the username it's the only thing we require to avoid legal issues you can choose any name you want
