New York, NY – May 6, 2026 – Luna Web Studio today announced a major expansion of CodeDash, the in-browser playground for learning to code. The release adds Python support, real-time collaboration, a redesigned editor, embeddable snapshots, and tighter integrations with GitHub — all aimed at making CodeDash the fastest way to go from “I want to try this” to a working, shareable project.

What’s new

Python, in the browser. CodeDash now supports Python alongside HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Code runs entirely in the browser — no installs, no server, no setup — making it possible to teach a Python lesson and a web design lesson without leaving the same tab.

Real-time collaboration. Multiple students or teammates can now work in the same project at the same time, with live cursors and instant updates. Pair programming, group projects, and live demos all work without screen-sharing or sending files back and forth.

A rebuilt editor. The editor has been redesigned around how CodeDash actually gets used in classrooms: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript live side-by-side with a live preview and console, with a dedicated Instructions tab for teacher-authored READMEs and a Tests panel that gives students immediate, actionable feedback.

One-click sharing and embedding. Every project can be saved as a snapshot — a frozen, runnable copy with a permanent URL. Snapshots can be embedded directly in Schoology, Canvas, or any markdown document, so a working example lives wherever the lesson lives.

GitHub support. Projects can now be pushed straight to a GitHub repository — no terminal required — making it easy to turn a CodeDash project into something a student takes with them.

Cloud storage and asset uploading. Pro accounts now sync projects across devices and sessions, and Pro users can drag and drop images, fonts, and other assets directly into a project without a build step.

Built for classrooms, useful for everyone

CodeDash is designed first for educators and students, but the same features — Training Wheels error messages, live preview, instant share links, browser-only execution — make it just as useful for self-taught learners, hackathon teams, and anyone who wants to prototype an idea without standing up a dev environment.

“The goal hasn’t changed,” said the Luna Web Studio team. “We want the time between ‘I have an idea’ and ‘I can show someone what I made’ to be as short as possible — for a ninth-grader, for a self-taught learner, for anyone.”

Pricing

CodeDash remains free to start. The Lite plan includes HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python, unlimited projects and snapshots, and shareable permalinks. The Pro plan — $4.99 per month — adds cloud storage, asset uploading, built-in tests, and GitHub support.

The platform is available now at codedash.dev.
