Do I need to pay to use FrameGround?

How is nodejs running inside my browser?
I am using WebContainers by StackBlitz to run nodejs inside your browser.
Playground isn't working in my browser?
Some browsers like brave and firefox have strict security policies that prevent the playground from working. You need to do extra steps to make it work.
I can't load remote files in the playground?
Since the playground is running inside your browser, it can't access remote files due to CORS policy. You need to configure cors in your server to allow the playground to access remote files. If you are still not able to see remote content in preview, you can open preview in other tab and try.
I want to check responsiveness of site
You can resize the preview window to check responsiveness of site. You can also open the preview in new tab by clicking on button in top right corner of preview window.
Where can I see console logs that I add in my code?
You can open dev tools in the site itself but we won't recommend it(you really don't want to see errors due to my skill issue, do you?). You can open the preview in new tab by clicking on button in top right corner of preview window and then open dev tools in that tab.
I want to report a bug or suggest a feature

If you are reporting a security vulnerability, please email me at bugs@frameground.tech instead of creating an issue.
