Hi everyone,

I built Pterocos (https://pterocos.eu.org) - a free online editor that runs
Python (plus C#, Rust, Ruby, SQL, Lua) entirely in your browser. No
installation, no account required.

**Why this might be useful for educators:**
- Students can start coding immediately - no local setup
- Zero cost - completely free, no premium version
- Runs on any device with a browser (Chromebooks, school computers, tablets)
- Perfect for teaching Python basics, data structures, or algorithms
- Also supports SQL (SQLite/DuckDB) for data science teaching

The editor runs entirely client-side - your code never leaves your browser.
No tracking, no ads, no sign-ups.

Try it: https://pterocos.eu.org

I'd love feedback from educators! How could this tool better serve your
teaching needs?

Thank you,
Amine KHD
