A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

/dev

Very excited to launch our alpha: we're building Srcbook (pronounced "source-book").

Srcbook is a TypeScript notebook, a new programming environment powered by node. It's open-source, free & runs locally on your machine.

Anything you can do with node and npm, you can do in Srcbook. It comes with AI features of course: generate entire Srcbooks, edit cells, review AI's suggestions as a diff, and auto-fix bugs. In the below video, I prototype a quick terminal chess game using AI in a couple of minutes.

After talking to a lot of TypeScript devs and teams, we realized that there is simply no good place to prototype, share, try out libraries and run snippets of code. Below I try out the new structured outputs from openAI in 2 mins by copying code from their blog post.

Definitely checking this out! Is this like a locally run docs with Val.town inside of it? 👀

Yeah we like Val.town but it’s close source and doesn’t run locally. We’re going the other way: start with a great local open source experience, and we’ll build the ability to deploy Srbooks as lambdas later
