“StackBlitz is very much the development analogy of what Figma did for design,” StackBlitz co-founder and CEO https://twitter.com/ericsimons40 told me in an interview. Introduced https://blog.stackblitz.com/posts/introducing-webcontainers/, WebContainers “allow you to create full-stack Node.js environments that boot in milliseconds.”

But unlike Figma in web design, there isn’t one web tool that currently stands out from the pack — although Simons argues otherwise.

According to Simons, Codeflow gives developers a “multi-burner stove” where they can do everything in the StackBlitz environment.

Ultimately, what StackBlitz wants to achieve is something very similar to what Figma did in design: enable development to happen collaboratively, fully online and in real-time.
