      Hello! Creator of CodeSandbox here!

      I don't want to give a comparison of StackBlitz and CodeSandbox, because my view as one of the creators would be skewed. I want to note though that CodeSandbox existed before StackBlitz released, I published CodeSandbox in April ([1] [2]) and StackBlitz released in August [3].
