I present mooShell – a tool which is helping with writing html, css and javascript. 
Just load the page, edit relevant fields and load the result into an iframe. It does allow to save results for further usage, like I did with this example: http://www.mooshell.net/wzRDj/. The tool is still in an early stage of development and definitely lacks some features. Plans are to implement logging, choice of javascript libraries (currently works with MooTools 1.2.3 only), and more.
The reason behind this post is really to gain some feedback – please use comments to write any feature and bug requests.
Current feature requests include:
- user logging
- snippets collections
- tagging
- switch between and off frameworks
- load specific javascript file
- richer interface – collapse and resize
- compatibility with mobiles
I'll be glad to read more ideas.

Yet another ‚WebApp‘ which demostrates the following.
Although I prefer to use ubuntu with apache+php+mysql to dev on as http://localhost… mooshell promotes mootools ( which I love ) and again is a demonstration on how Apps are moving to the Web as WebApps.
When HTML 5 proliferates more (with canvas and webSockets and all, along with WebGL and NaCl from google) building Apps on the Web is going to allow developers to reach more users, without downloads and completely cross platform (linux/mac/losedows)

@Steeve Knight
default is to load the first version. It has the reason. There are plans for the future to mimick that kind of behavior.
mooShell IS THE BOMB!
I've used it to progressively ferret out a bug in a little project over several days as time allowed: http://mooshell.net/nAvJQ/34 Having a browser crash at some point, I lost the last iteration of my mooShell projectlette and had to hunt/peck for it.
Wondering if default on /uniqid/ is to load highest version? Interesting that this works to load the projectlette: http://www.mooshell.net/wzRDj/ but this does not: http://mooshell.net/nAvJQ/
@MoST
Yes – he told me about that. Welcome :D
very good tool…funny coincidence – now, when I ha to reconstruct some of my clients web pages, Radek shows me a tool made by his friend :P
I like the idea. A new taste of paste bins. Good job.
@troy
Discussion for sure, but Q&A – do you think about something like the stackoverflow? I think they do a good job.
This is a great idea and will really add more dimension to sharing and debugging code, thanks. What do you think of comments or a Q&A attached to saved snippets?
@Ryan Rampersad: mooshell on github Please bare in mind it should be rewritten soon, to meet some other requirements.
@rpflo: yes – that's what I want, there are other plans on github
@Dimitar Christoff: there are plans for syntax highlighting editor, what glitches? on which browser?
@Ghazal: it's not limited, if it will hit server limits I'll start to worry
@Becky, Tofu: Thanks
By „load specific javascript file“ do you mean I can drop in an http://example.com/myscript.js and run it?
I'd love to use mooshell for demos of my classes. It would be sweet to not need the class source in the javascript box.
Incredible work. I love it.
I never heard about this tool, but it seems to me that such testing can yield good results.
MooShell looks great and is a great tool. I made something similar for personal use a year ago. Yours works better and looks so much better, of course.
I was wondering if you would open the project up on github so that others contribute to the development of it. I'm very interested in this.
Great tool – just a few glitches with the editor but I expect they will be resolved over time :) well done.
Hello, tks for this great tool. My question is : how often can I use it ? As much as I want ? Is your server not going to be saturated ?
It's the resolution and future of paste bins for collaborative development.
