Val Town

I've been using Val Town for about a month now and it's been great. The fact that you can deploy a script globally with no setup is a superpower. I'm even powering a tiny experimental feature in one of my apps with Val Town and it has worked beautifully. On top of that, the team is super active in the community and always seem eager to jump to your aid if you're having any issues at all with the service. Would totally recommend as an alternative to Lambda or even self-hosting serverless functions depending on the type of project you're running.

Playing with val.town I was able to make a bluesky bot (with a cron job that fetches an rss and posts any new message via bsky’s API), and a server-side rendered map, with Observable Plot, of the USGS live earthquake data. Just a few lines of code, zero deployment headaches. Brilliant!

The val.town team is creating the perfect tool for me and I am always excited to hear their fast paced additions to the platform. Running scripts has never been easier and this pushed me to start setup small projects I wouldn't have otherwise. Good luck from BK!

Absolutely love Val Town -- have been using it to power a few iOS shortcuts for about 4 months now. The founders are incredibly responsive and clearly have a passion for making a fantastic product. Congrats on the launch, team!

I’ve found Val Town to be very user-friendly, especially for quickly testing out ideas. It’s great for beginners or anyone looking to prototype, but it lacks some advanced features that advanced users might need.

Love how Val Town enables me to instantly start coding without having to spend too much time setting up the environment! Looking forward to Val Town's coming update of in runtime V3!
