First, congratulations on such a great tool—both the web and desktop versions are fantastic! I’d like to suggest a couple of improvements:
Web/Desktop: It would be very helpful to integrate support for tmux on Ubuntu.
Desktop: For sections like Terminal, AI, Web, Shell, Tips, etc., it’d be great to have keyboard shortcuts to toggle visibility, and also a shortcut to focus the terminal, if detected—very useful for keyboard users.
I’d also appreciate confirmation of your official support email, as I’ve sent messages via the site without response.
Lastly, how can we update the desktop app when new features are released? And if these suggestions are feasible, is there an estimated timeline?
I'm trying to connect my Whatsapp phone number to my Meta Business Portfolio and it needs to do a POST Call to an endpoint to request a registration code. In the call, I will include my Whatsapp phone number and a base64-encoded certificate string. I believe this is to register my new Whatsapp API.
Is Interactive Shell the kind of tool that I need for this task?
Obviously, I have no knowledge with coding but I'm willing to learn. :)
A: Yes, it is possible to make REST calls from the Interactive Shell, you will need to use CURL or simply use the WebREST feature. A Pro account will be needed. You can see an example in our help section at https://help.interactiveshell.com/.
Q: Is this good for web designers with zero coding skills?
As a web designer, my challenge has always been CSS & JS as I have no coding background:
1. Can Interactive Shell help me create a CSS code to (example) Lazy Load an entire webpage or Lazy Load selected items on my webpage such as an image or group of texts?
2. Can it help me fix my JS embeds like to resize or align the items?
3. I assume all instructions will be given via an AI prompt?
4. If there is a problem with a code, can I just prompt the AI to "fix it"?
5. Moving forward, can I use Interactive Shell to learn (or teach) basic coding?
6. What are the storage limits for? Aren't codes just texts that have very very minimal storage usage?
A: 1. Yes, In the Interactive Shell > IDE Drive > Create a file with .html extension. It will open a codepen like Editor and there you can practice HTML/CSS. Codes will be executed on the fly! 2-5. We suggest you create a free account and try yourself. 6. Code are small but people may need input files which can be large. You can run codes with input files in the Terminal. That's the beauty of the...
A: Yes, in short but please read the fine points: Interactive Shell is not a VPS provider. It's just an outlet of a docker container made on-the-fly nothing permanent. Our clients use the terminal for testing, debugging and learning. Networking to github.com is possible but Internet access is kept limited to avoid abuses.

Q: no space left on device
Greeting
I always get this error, including on your demo page:
no space left on device
what's wrong?

Jun 11, 2025A: Fixed now! Docker-based systems can sometimes experience hiccups with space, resolved by resetting the containers.

Q: Can I run an API test and have it continue running to force testing until I scale to a client level?
I would like to know if I can do an API test that runs on Ubuntu and if I can do these tests until I scale the application for customer monetization.
