I spent the last two months building a Chrome extension that lets you quickly run Python code from any website.
AI has made Python more popular than ever, but setting up an environment is still fiddly, especially for beginners. Cliprun solves that by letting you simply right-click any Python code snippet to run it in your browser.
You can save snippets and re-run them later, upload/download files, visualize data and schedule automatic runs.
It uses (the amazing) Pyodide for local execution, which supports pandas, requests, BeautifulSoup and lots more. Scheduled runs use an isolated Python environment in AWS Lambda. The code snippet detection is surprisingly simple - it just looks for the parent pre/code tag!
It's aimed at no/low-coders and students. Hopefully filling the gap between something like Replit and AWS/GCP.
Would love to hear your uses cases and feedback. Lots more improvements coming soon!
