Comment on: Show HN: Chunk – Code sandbox for back-end devs

Sure.I use Make.com (former Integromat) for many automations for my small business, and while quite handy, the automations are cumbersome to edit and very limited. Pretty often I have to resort to something dumb like composing a complex JSON by hand or using a third-party web-service token just to unzip a file. Sometimes I rage too much, wanting to rewrite the whole script of visual blocks in four simple lines of Clojure, but the complexity of deploying that four-lines webhook (or scheduled task) online cools me down pretty quickly, and I just give up.
