Please fix this error, since I'm trying to learn Node right now. 🙃

One way to make things work is,

1. Click "Remix" when error pop up appear
2. Click "open in side window"

You may see at least result of code.
This only works sometimes

Thanks for reporting the bug and suggesting a workaround.

Maybe we should switch to another provider or just ditch the idea of running iframe'ed content from 3rd parties.
What do you think @nodejs/nodejs-dev

I think this is the reason we are seeing the above error sometimes.

I agree with that, i think simple straight forward code running environment should be used instead of flashy iframes. Others open source projects also use simple code editors. such as MDN, javascript.info
one of advantage of those simple editor is that if one have slow internet connection or downloaded web pages to view later for some reason can still run those code snippets. :)

We should likely ping someone from glitch to see if they can get this fixed before removing it.

I think we likely want to keep code execution in an iframe for sandboxing purposes, no matter which vendor we use.
