A personal favourite, highly recommended. Val.town is really open for experimentations, and is just a blast to play with. I'm also super enthusiastic about the future of the platform, this is just the start (see https://blog.val.town/blog/val-t...)

The val.town team is creating the perfect tool for me and I am always excited to hear their fast paced additions to the platform. Running scripts has never been easier and this pushed me to start setup small projects I wouldn't have otherwise. Good luck from BK!

Val town is so useful when you want to run a small piece of code at a moment's notice

I can't speak highly enough of Valtown. Fun, easy to use, but the composability and advanced features like the key/value stores make it extremely powerful. plus Steve & the team are super responsive & open to feedback

Playing with val.town I was able to make a bluesky bot (with a cron job that fetches an rss and posts any new message via bsky’s API), and a server-side rendered map, with Observable Plot, of the USGS live earthquake data. Just a few lines of code, zero deployment headaches. Brilliant!

Huge fan of the work Steve and Tom are doing with Val Town. It feels like they really found the perfect abstraction so that you can focus on writing code that's flexible and works how you expect in so many different ways without worrying about infrastructure at all. Huge congrats on the launch and can't wait to see where it goes next!

I've been following Val Town for a long time and it's amazing to see the product grow so fast and get so good. I recommend you to check it out if you have any task you would like to automate and don't want to fall into the https://xkcd.com/1319/ trap. Don't have anything in mind? go and play anyway, you will have some fun and learn something new :)

I’ve found Val Town to be very user-friendly, especially for quickly testing out ideas. It’s great for beginners or anyone looking to prototype, but it lacks some advanced features that advanced users might need.

Val town is great. It's been a really empowering tool to turn a fleeting thought into a working API endpoint in less time than it took to write this review!
