Val Town
Social website to write and deploy TypeScript
Val Town lets you write TypeScript functions (vals) that run in the cloud instantly. HTTP handlers, cron jobs, email handlers, and SQLite — all from a browser editor.
Panel Reviews
The Builder
Developer Perspective
“The fastest way to deploy a serverless function. Write TypeScript in the browser, get an instant URL. No config, no deploy step.”
The Skeptic
Reality Check
“Brilliant for prototyping, webhooks, and small automations. The social aspect adds unexpected value — fork and remix.”
The Futurist
Big Picture
“Val Town is what serverless should have been — write code, it runs. The social coding model adds a new dimension.”
Community Sentiment
“Val Town is the spiritual successor to Gist — but vals can actually run, handle HTTP, and have SQLite built in”
“Deployed a cron job to monitor a website in 3 minutes without touching a server. This is the future.”
“Val Town's social coding model is underrated — being able to fork someone's val and see how it works is brilliant”
“Finally a place to write TypeScript that just runs — no config, no deployment, no ops”
