Developer tools built for focused, practical work.

CodeRunner provides a browser-based JavaScript workspace for experiments and lessons, with a foundation that can be adapted for embedded coding experiences. Aloe brings a restrained, contrast-aware palette to VS Code. Both are working Lab829 projects you can try today.

CodeRunner: A focused JavaScript workspace in your browser

CodeRunner is a browser-based workspace for testing modern JavaScript without setting up a local project. The live version supports multi-file projects, relative imports, local storage, ZIP export, and offline use.

  • Run modern JavaScript and organize related code across multiple files
  • Use relative imports to test code that is closer to a small project than a single snippet
  • Keep projects in local browser storage and move them with ZIP import and export
  • Install it as a PWA and continue working when an internet connection is unavailable
  • Use it on an iPad with an external keyboard for a more practical coding setup

The same foundation can be adapted for learning platforms, product documentation, teaching tools, and internal prototyping environments.

Live basic version. An enhanced development version adds custom VS Code-compatible themes and a richer workspace, but those features are not part of the public version yet.

If one of these tools resembles something your team needs, we can discuss adapting the approach to your product, learning platform, or internal workflow.

Aloe Theme: A minimal, dark green theme for VS Code

Aloe is a free VS Code theme built around a restrained green palette and calm, contrast-aware color choices. It has been refined through sustained everyday use rather than designed around a single promotional screenshot.

  • Balanced green and teal accents across syntax and interface elements
  • Dedicated token colors for JSX, template expressions, variables, and related structures
  • Restrained bracket-pair colors that preserve structure without relying on harsh neon tones
  • Coordinated styling for tabs, breadcrumbs, the minimap, sidebars, diffs, and peek views

Aloe also reflects the kind of focused design work Lab829 can apply to branded editor experiences and workflow-specific development tools.

Available now. Install it from the Visual Studio Marketplace. Feedback and practical examples that expose weak color choices are welcome on GitHub
