Free Online C++ Editor for Testing Package Snippets

[Amine. KHD (aminkheddache-dotcom)]

Hi everyone,

I've been working on a tool called Pterocos (https://pterocos.eu.org/) that might be useful for testing small code snippets that use packages from vcpkg.

Key features:

Browser-based – no installation or setup needed

Monaco Editor backend (VS Code engine)

Compiles and runs C++ client-side via WebAssembly

AI-powered debugging assistance

Potential use cases:

Quickly test how a package works before integrating it into your project

Prototype code that uses specific libraries

Experiment with compiler flags and optimizations

Share reproducible examples when discussing issues

It's completely free and open-source. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how this could be improved for the vcpkg community.

Cheers!
