CodeHat

The way you code shapes the way you think. And the platform you choose shapes the coder you become.

CodeHat is a platform designed to provide a seamless and efficient coding environment in your browser. Run code with custom inputs, test algorithms, and experiment with logic without the overhead of a traditional IDE.

This repository contains the official open-source frontend for the CodeHat platform.

Built for Coders, Open to Everyone. No Cost. No Catch. Just Code.

This is how CodeHat code editor looks.
