Release Notes 003: Major Upgrade to Code Blocks

What's New?

Before this update, code blocks only offered code formatting on six languages: JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, and C/C++. This was fine but as I was using the Scribby editor for my Computer Science classes I realized that it was a necessity to be able to run individual blocks within the browser and also we needed to support many new languages.

What does the update look like?

The first thing you will notice is that we are now supporting way more languages. Our original six have now grown to a massive 80+ languages. As you use the editor you will notice automatic syntax highlighting as well as formatting. Also you can now run the code directly in the browser. No more copy and pasting over to other editors or environments. Hopefully this makes your studying and editing of Scribby notes more seamless.

Future additions

Do you like this change but want something more out of it? Feel free to reach out on Reddit, Discord, or contact us. I would love to get feedback from users like you to make Scribby great! In the next release, the output of previously run blocks will be stored in memory. Also, I would like to introduce an additional LaTeX block so that math can be expressed more accurately.
