opening external links in new tab

[tusharnankani]

Desciption and why is this needed to be done?

The repl.it platform should open in a new tab because:

• the platform takes a few seconds to setup and create the environment.
• moreover, it is an external link, hence while it sets up, the user can browse through the website.

Implementation:

placing target="_blank" in the a tag would do the job.

Yes, that would be useful, although the button where the list shows 3 options will be removed soon once we get a stable coding platform where the user can code without signing up. If you run the website and go to the coding platform, repl.it will ask the user to sign up. If you know any possible coding ground that doesn't require signing up of the users then u can send me the link to the coding ground. Once its reviewed, u can raise a PR for that.

How about snipp.in?

Does it support the programming languages we have in the website? Kindly check and tell.

@Nishant2907 It is an in-browser code editor that supports a bunch of languages. Note: It is an editor, and not a compiler.

If a compiler is needed, the best one would be onlinegdb that supports most of the languages. There are a bunch of free JavaScript editors and compilers without signing up, but that is language-specific.
