Happy new year :)
As I told you before zxplay.org is an amazing tool. Far superior than mine :)
Just an idea : You could make the interface more like Basin. I did a custom modification of your code in the past and it looked like this :

I know that it might not look good on some low resolution screens but this (as an additional menu option) has use cases for people who learn basic. I think it's quite simple to implement.
Also, even If I don't use it, what happened to ZXBasic ?

Hey, happy new year to you too 😃

Do you sign-in to ZX Play? Once signed-in you can go to the Project menu and create a New Project, which gives you an alternative interface, something like you've shown there.

ZX BASIC can currently be used only via GitHub Codespaces, running the source for the zxplay.org website and supporting services directly in GitHub via a vscode UI. The way that I've implemented this previously was as a service which compiles the code on the server. It looked like this was being heavily used/abused, so only client-side compiling now. I am thinking of how to reintroduce it. Maybe using Pyodide, or Piston to timebox the compile or other mechanisms to rate-limit clients...

I signed a while back but never signed in again.
Yes it looks great!
Is it possible to have this look without logging in? -eg with a url parameter zxplay.org/index.html?view=doublebasic.

Maybe. I might try to make something responsive instead, so if you have the screen space then it will be side-by-side.

Editor is now side-by-side with emulator on front page. Intention with renaming from ZX Play to ZX Coder was to focus one site on programming, and the other for games. So now I got around to it, I'm making this change.
