Show HN: Free code editor/preview, no ads, no login, single HTML file or Split (takeonanything.com)

I kept using the W3Schools "Try It" editor and similar tools, and every time it was slower, more ads, more bloat. So I built a clean replacement.

It's a single HTML file hosted on GitHub Pages. CodeMirror for syntax highlighting, combined or split HTML/CSS/JS tabs, dark/light mode, resizable panes, shareable links via URL hash. No server, no account, no tracking or cookies (just Plausible for basic traffic stats).

The plan is to add more tools over time (JSON formatter, regex tester, etc.) under the same idea — free, fast, no bloat.

This kind of "tool" is exactly what we need.

Looks really good and the only change I would personally do is on the editor page remove the section below the editor.

Other than that good work :)

Thank you! I thought having some stuff underneath would help google pic it up and show more folks but if its distracting ill cut it. Also added a free image compressor tool on the site now too.
I think it's possible to add the ability to upload files somewhere, and the ability to create folders for additional files there.
