Val Town is a social website to code in the cloud. You can create APIs, scheduled functions, email yourself, and persist data.
Our mission is end-user programming. We believe everyone should be able to code.
We’re building a social hub where people can write code without friction or setup: open a tab, write JavaScript, and click run. You can learn more about us at val.town/about.
We’re a small team that ships. We’re crafting a simple, powerful product that programmers love — come join us!
On an average day, we’re talking to customers, designing new APIs, tuning our CodeMirror configuration, improving performance, or updating our Deno evaluation server. We also spend a lot of time designing and redesigning UIs to balance simplicity and power, and doing a lot of writing and communication. We are a seed startup with big ambitions, so we think a lot about growth and scalability.
You’re a programmer to your core, but love talking to users.
You write maintainable code and take pride in your work, but know that sometimes you need to ship a quick prototype and sometimes you need to design carefully, and are able to know the right time for either.
You are self-directed, take ownership, and are up for whatever’s needed on a particular day.
You have good product sense, care deeply about making customers happy, and have had some sort of success shipping something on your own — a blog, open source project, etc.
You are committed to kindness, integrity, and doing the right thing.
