Glitch

Glitch (formerly Gomix, HyperDev before that) is a tool allowing you to quickly prototype web applications in a complete IDE with built in version control, sharing, and more.

It works similar to a CodePen or Gist but it allows you to write a Node.js-based server to complement the front end.

It's made by Glitch Inc, formerly known as Fog Creek Software.
