RunKit Blog is the company blog at blog.runkit.com, writing about programming and web. Since 2016, 3 different Hacker News readers have linked it 16 times, most often “Tonic is now RunKit, a part of Stripe”. The last post was in 2018, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked in a 2016 HN thread about Stripe and RunKit. The post announces that Tonic is now RunKit, and the commenter only points readers to it.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

RunKit (now a part of Stripe) | Designer, Infrastructure Developer, Community Developer | San Francisco, CA / Onsite, Full Time We're working on some incredibly interesting engineering problems spanning from Docker to JavaScript parsing to make developer's lives easier. We were recently acquired by Stripe and have really ambitious goals: http://blog.runkit.com/2016/09/13/tonic-is-now-runkit-a-part... In fact, we jus…

HN discussionWe released DemoKit last week to do precisely this (be able to script demos and record them, that way you can easily re-record them if your product changes, or if there's a typo, etc): http://blog.runkit.com/2016/10/18/introducing-demokit.html

HN discussionI’m glad these concerns are becoming more widespread, since they are somewhat subtle and when we originally shipped RunKit many people didn’t know why we didn’t “just write a js backend for Jupyter”. The reality is that solving these problems are a huge engineering challenge and we spent the entire first year of development at RunKit on unifying the “module” and “REPL” environments. Our litmus test was that notebook…

HN discussionHave you had a chance to try our project, https://runkit.com ? The two projects intersect a bit, but given your specific concerns it may be more along the lines of what you're looking for: 1. Specifically, we have gone through great pain-staking measures to make it just JavaScript and linear (while avoiding some of the pitfalls of Jupiter notebooks, like "losing state in cells"). You can read more about this specifi…

HN discussionHi s0l1dsnak3123, You might have not heard of us because we used to be named Tonic ;) There are a number of different factors that differentiate us from Jupyter, but we have of course taken a ton of inspiration from them. The data science crowd including iPython, Mathematica, etc have pioneered a development style that I hope see make its way into "normal" programming. One of the best resources is a pretty in-depth…

HN discussionI think there may be a bit of a misunderstanding here. RunKit does not send you a container for you to interact with manually, in fact there is nothing in the RunKit UI to "mess around" with the container itself. RunKit is a coding notebook that is backed by containers (and automatic shrink-wrapping of dependencies) to guarantee determinism over multiple runs. In other words, it is a code snippet, but with a run but…

HN discussionAt RunKit we back code executions not only with Docker (which “freeze dries” the filesystem), but with CRIU, an awesome open source project that “freeze dries” the state of the memory as well. This allows you to “rewind” code executions without losing initial state. More information here if you’re interested: http://blog.runkit.com/2015/09/10/time-traveling-in-node-js-...

on “Docker for Data Science”Totally understandable if its not possible, but if the error is in a package for example, RunKit might be a big help. We've put a ton of work in making great stack traces: http://blog.runkit.com/2017/02/01/stop-filing-bugs-file-a-co...
