Show HN: ViperIDE – MicroPython IDE for web and mobile

  • It's hosted here: https://viper-ide.org/

    I'm actually using it, right now, already. I happened to have a RP2040 board right here I was just writing some micropython for.

    I think this is a good way to quick-start with the boards moreso than using the Thonny IDE. It handles the filesystem access perfectly.

  • This is super cool, and I love the old school tech stack. It makes for a very approachable codebase and a fast user experience.

    As a reminder given the recent polyfill io attack, don't use public CDN hosted JS without also setting SRI attributes [1]. It's a marginal perf benefit because the cache is partitioned by top level domains now and it opens you up to attacks from the CDN owners.

    As a bonus set CSP headers and a nonce when you can too, but definitely set SRI on any 3p scripts.

  • Hi, congratulations on ViperIDE, did you create it yourself? The interface is great, as an editor it lacks basic functionality. But as a starting step it is great. Bravo

  • This is incredibly cool! Nice work!

  • If the README included the tl;dr installation instructions, I'd be trying this out already.
