I think it's doable. the thing is system communication is handled through rust at the moment. so will have to do a lot of refactoring to move it to pure web based tool
We need a web version of this, running in browser, and that allows link sharing (snippet sharing), with added tools like postgres query plan visualizer etc.
Then you can even charge for it.
I started doing this, added a bunch of features, but got too lazy to add billing and multi tenancy/isolation for it. It was running everything (except ping tools) on client by default so it was both private and non private depending on which way you want to run it. Sharing would allow for collaborating with coworkers...
Runs well on Windows 10, looks decent. Single 7MB executable that can be copied around. A lot of handy tools for a self contained app.
A few initial observations: the list of languages in the Scratch Pad is not correctly sorted. Also the Powershell results for errors show the ANSI escape codes. It would be nice if those were interpreted and the output colored.
It would also be nice if each editor held on to its text when you switch apps. I could see putting some code together in the scratch pad or the markdown editor, then going over to a color or number convertor to get a result, then going back to what I already had in progress.
Thank you so much for trying it out.
The languages scratchpad actually comes from a third party provider, including execution and output. I will definitely see if I can escape the ANSI codes.
About storing states absolutely makes sense. will fix this 100%.

Altogether though, great start and very nice job!
