Alright, today I really needed a way to send my clipboard contents to my phone quickly and Dark did come to the rescue!

I think y'all have made a bunch of progress and I got a thing to work. Gonna list stuff that happened to me (though lots of this is probably somewhere within the docs and I'm just missing it)

• took me a while to find toString existed. You now have the cool documentation popup when autocompleting (very nice!), would be cool if there was a "function explorer" in the sidebar or something that I could use as well. I know about that one page with all the functions (but it's off to the side when the docs are clearly embedded into the app already! Very good opportunity for a quick UI-only win)

• Sometimes I'll type a thing like "let count = DB::count MyDB" and later will do a thing like "DB count is " + count.
  After typing that I get the warning about using ++ instead of count. So I do that and now >I have "DB count is " ++ count
  Then it points out count is an integer not a string. So I go type "DB count is" ++ (toString count).
  This doesn't work.

• I think most people are used to seeing parentheses work in languages. I would really suggest something like: warning when there's a ( like "oh actually you should use a let here instead), or typing ( somehow opening up a subexpression. Some operator like $ is also of interest (Though stuff gets a bit complicated then)

• There's a "copy to CURL " button that doesn't work for me (on Ubuntu 20.04). Something about Content-Length header being missing.

• No shame on the supported browser angle (you're doing hard stuff), but maybe it's super busted in Firefox, but would love a button on that "unsupported browser" thing like "try anyways". Maybe not feasible with your error reporting, though. And I could just user agent sniff.

• "copy to cURL" is neat, but "copy URL" would also be nice for quickly sharing a link/pasting it into another script for example.

• Would be cool to have a "Comments" block I could just put on the canvas and organize my little endpoints/functions.

I'm also glad to report I didn't get really many weird editor error reporting bugs. Things feel really nice for me now.

I think last time I was trying to do some stuff that was notably harder than "store a string/retrieve a string" but being able to pull this off in ~20 minutes convinced me to pay for personal use at least.

Re-iterating "it would be nice to directly edit datastore stuff in the UI" but that's probably not super easy.

I'm a bit of a nerd so I still like using my "real tools" for Serious Stuff but I really like this as a replacement for Zapier/more toy stuff.

Random feature request that would make things even smoother:

• being able to write/edit static assets within the web. Thinking about HTML files in particular. LIke just stuffing the monaco editor in there so it's easy to make one-off files.

Hope you all are able to keep up the progress you're making here!
