Show HN: A minimal yet fast and feature rich JavaScript/TypeScript scratchpad
Hi HN community,
I wanted to share the story of how I built https://jsPad.dev and how it’s been evolving.
It all started when I realized I needed a simple, fast, no-fuss scratchpad to test ideas quickly. I didn’t want the distractions or bloat that come with heavy IDEs or complex tools. So, I built jsPad as a hobby project to fill that gap.
Within just a month, it’s gained 212 registered users, which was surprising and exciting. Seeing developers use it and finding value in it has really motivated me to add more features and make it better.
Here are some of the key features, some of which were never planned but added post receiving feedback though HN or reddit or the app itself:
- Minimalistic UI/UX—everything you need, nothing you don’t
- Built-in TypeScript and SCSS/JSX support right away
- 1-click templates for React, Vue, Svelte, Tailwind, and more
- Offline support, so you can keep working even without an internet connection
- PWA support—installable on any device
- Easily save and share your code snippets
- Customizable code editor. Change theme to light or dark.
- Customizable layout - tweak to your liking.
I’m also working on exciting upcoming features like Collab mode and an explore section to show what others are working on.
If you’re a developer who’s looking for a lightweight, no-nonsense tool to experiment with ideas, I’d love for you to check it out.
I’m building this tool for developers, and feedback or feature requests are always welcome.
Thanks for reading, and happy coding!

Best AI for Reading Books
Hi HN,
I recently finished writing a book (in English), and I would like to turn it into a free eBook. I am Dutch and not particularly fond of my recorded voice, so I am experimenting with three audio formats—all using AI: 1. My voice cloned with AI: I will record a sample, then let the AI generate the full narration in my voice. 2. Standard AI narration: A clear, neutral voice that reads the book word-for-word like a traditional audiobook. 3. Podcast-style version: Using AI to rewrite and narrate the material in a more conversational and digestible format, like a podcast episode.
Curious to hear if anyone has done something similar, and open to recommendations on tools/platforms for any of the above.
Pleased to hear, thank you.

Show HN: Compare PC Monitors
I worked on this tool while looking for a new monitor. You can filter by resolution, panel, refresh rate, ports, KVM etc. I use Rtings.com a lot so I added their scores as well.
Let me know if you have any feedback!
