Code is meant to be interactive.

1. Head to repl.it
2. Write some code in your favorite language.
3. Copy and paste the url for your repl into a Medium post.
4. Publish the post to make the code interactive.

Interactive code. In a Medium article! (from repl.it).

Feel free to play around with the code above. This is a simple example, but you can create complex scripts for readers to run in many languages.

Notes

• The code is only fully interactive after you publish
• You can add packages, data files, or include multiple scripts in your repl
• This does work on mobile although not perfectly
• Each time the page is reloaded, the packages are installed

Besides embedding code in your articles, repl.it has a great discussion forum and interactive exercises to learn coding.
