A live coding environment with a real URL, a database with no schema, and a time machine that records every request — all from one email.
No password. No credit card. Click the link and you land in the editor.
You type your email. We send a link. You click it. You're in the editor.
A working example is already there. The subdomain is already serving it. Every request you make is already being recorded.
The whole stack is AGPL-licensed and public on GitHub. Read it. Run it. Fork it. Host it yourself, free forever.
You pay us to run it for you. That's the whole deal.
$ git clone github.com/anarchodev/rove $ cd rove $ zig build rewind-worker rewind-cp rewind-front → four processes, your hardware
We will never relicense Rewind to a non-free license. Not when we're bigger. Not if we're acquired. The repo is AGPL and that's the contract.
No matter how senior you are. Some pretty good engineers have said as much.
Aggressive use of a debugger gives you insight you won't get by mere inspection.
Creators need an immediate connection to what they're creating. So much of creation is discovery, and you can't discover anything if you can't see what you're doing.
They're both right. The reason most of us don't watch our code is that the tools have been painful, partial, or both.
Rewind is the tool that isn't.
Replays run the same QuickJS engine that recorded them — the same sources, built for WebAssembly with tracing on. Deterministic execution, not approximation.
Before anything is recorded: IPv4 drops its last octet, IPv6 keeps only the /48.
Free, with TLS issued and renewed for you. Custom domains are operator-assisted today.
The whole engine is AGPL-3.0. Run the same stack yourself, on your own hardware.
Handlers run in Beauharnois, Canada. Recordings are stored in Virginia, USA. Both on OVHcloud.
