hsandbox is an interesting project. Basically, it give you an output window. I feel it’s like a HTML writer with a preview panel.

It’s written in Python and uses GNU/Screen to implement the vertically divided sections (I didn’t know you can split in Screen without patch, or mine do have?), one for your editor, the other is the output result. It supports many programming languages out of the box. It can even support different versions, e.g. Python 2/3.

Two things I don’t like:

1. It only supports GNU/Screen. In order to run it, I re-installed Screen, and

2. It requires pyinotify to detect file saves, I have to install it as well.

   Note

   My patch has been accepted, this is no longer required. The author also made modifications later. (2010-09-26)

I am going to see if I can hack it a bit, to use tmux (issue) and to detect on its own.

Unfortunately I don’t have any snippets needed to be written at this moment, so…

I am bad! :D
