Show HN: I made a JSFiddle-style playground to test and share prompts fast

https://langfa.st/
50•eugenegusarov•7mo ago
I built this out of frustration as I lead the development of AI features at Yola.com.

Prompt testing should be simple and straightforward. All I wanted was a simple way to test prompts with variables and jinja2 templates across different models, ideally somthing I could open during a call, run few tests, and share results with my team. But every tool I tried hit me with a clunky UI, required login and API keys, or forced a lengthy setup process.

And that's not all.

Then came the pricing. The last quote I got for one of the tools on the market was $6,000/year for a team of 16 people in a use-it-or-loose-it way. For a tool we use maybe 2–3 times per sprint. That’s just ridiculous!

IMO, it should be something more like JSFiddle. A simple prompt playground that does not require you to signup, does not require API keys, and let's experiment instantly, i.e. you just enter a browser URL and start working. Like JSFiddle has. And mainly, something that costs me nothing if I'm or my team is not using it.

Eventually I gave up looking for solution and decided to build it by myself.

Here it is: https://langfa.st

Help me find what's wrong or missing or does not work from you perspctive.

P.S. I did not put any limits or restrictions yet, so test it wisely. Don't make me broke, please.

Is this open source? Is it local browser API calls, or routing through your server?
eugenegusarov•6mo ago
It's not OpenSource yet. Do you think it should be?

API calls are routed through a thin proxy on my side, this is how you get access to all the models with my API keys. I definitely would not want to store those keys in code of the JS bundle in the browser (:

owebmaster•6mo ago
> It's not OpenSource yet. Do you think it should be?

Only if you want to spend more time managing an open source project than building a real world project. It is not easy and it can be a big distraction.

eugenegusarov•6mo ago
I would definitely like to avoid that for now. It's just me for now.
coffeecoders•6mo ago
On page load, execution logs panel hide all the buttons for me. https://i.imgur.com/eqDpu3Y.png

Maybe not obvious to users to collapse the panel.

Follow up, how are you handling actual calls to LLM?

eugenegusarov•6mo ago
Is this a full screenshot of the page? You can not only collapse the panel, you can also resize it in a way you want. Just drag the top edge of the panel.

In terms of calls to LLMs. I do not use any frameworks or LLM proxies like OpenRouter etc. Instead, I make the calls directly to LLM providers with a tiny thin proxy endpoint I created in Supabase.

One of the problems I had with other tools was the difficulty in understand the actual responses that particular playgrounds provided. Especially when it came to error responses. I guess that they are either built with the some Proxy providers like OpenRouter who handles and interprets errors internally before giving a response to the user, or they are using frameworks like LangChain with their abstraction hell.

In our case on Yola, it was crucial to have a playground that provided this raw type of experience that I have builtin.

jaredsohn•6mo ago
Some feedback when I tried to share: 1. Think it should prepopulate the name like various AI apps do.

2. Got an error:

"Unexpected Application Error! Cannot read properties of null (reading 'slice') TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'slice') at Hv (https://langfa.st/main.1510e80706059046a306.js:2:11907588) at hi (https://langfa.st/main.1510e80706059046a306.js:2:10922009) at Xa (https://langfa.st/main.1510e80706059046a306.js:2:10941715) at fs (https://langfa.st/main.1510e80706059046a306.js:2:10952350) at $c (https://langfa.st/main.1510e80706059046a306.js:2:10997432) at Gc (https://langfa.st/main.1510e80706059046a306.js:2:10997360) at Zc (https://langfa.st/main.1510e80706059046a306.js:2:10997202) at Nc (https://langfa.st/main.1510e80706059046a306.js:2:10993991) at yd (https://langfa.st/main.1510e80706059046a306.js:2:11006790) at Cd (https://langfa.st/main.1510e80706059046a306.js:2:11005523) Hey developer

You can provide a way better UX than this when your app throws errors by providing your own ErrorBoundary or errorElement prop on your route."

eugenegusarov•6mo ago
For sure, man. This is absolutely unexpected. I will check what went wrong and fix the issue.

What tool was this?

eugenegusarov•6mo ago
Get to a sales call with Velum, Basalt and others to find out.
piterrro•6mo ago
Nice tool! Im working on something similar but focused on repeatability and testing on multiple models/test data points.
eugenegusarov•6mo ago
Do you have a link? I'd like to see it.

Any specific feedback so far?

alansammarone•6mo ago
Very cool, congrats!

just one minor suggestion: It seems that the responses are not saved anywhere? even after signup, opening a new tab or just navigating within the app makes the responses disappear - if they're really not being stored, might be worth considering storing them. if they are, maybe the ux could make that more obvious (I couldn't find it). in any case, very useful project!

eugenegusarov•6mo ago
You're absolutely right. Currently they are not stored. This is one of the things that are on my short list.
redhale•6mo ago
Similar: https://www.promptfiddle.com/

From the BAML team, so it uses the BAML syntax (open source).

eugenegusarov•6mo ago
As far as I understand it's a much more robust syntax that allows complex logic?
redhale•6mo ago
BAML is a language that gives you jinja-like templating. But it also provides structured output parsing and bindings in Python and TypeScript that allow you to execute prompts as typed functions in your code. They also have a VS Code "playground" extension that provides a way to quickly iterate on prompts. There's a bunch of other good stuff too, but these are the main reasons we use it.
