A: Interactive shell is very unique since it provides a real Linux terminal that can connect to the IDE drive data, helpful when users want to process their data through a shell. In that context, it is more than those IDEs. We also offer free accounts with 1MB test storage, feel free to have a look the rest of the features.

Q: Feature Request: Exercism CLI Integration

Would you consider adding the Exercism CLI to your software so users can download and submit exercises directly within the platform, instead of relying on a local machine?

I’ve used Exercism extensively to learn and practice several languages, and having this functionality built in would be a total game-changer. If you implemented this feature, I’d honestly buy this in a heartbeat—it would be amazing to use Exercism anywhere, anytime, without being tied to my local environment. Thanks.

Q: Support for node.js and zip files?

Hi There,

I don't see node.js being installed in default shell. Is there a way to install node.js to use Next.js and other JavaScript based frameworks?
Also, the app doesn't support uploading a zip file. Is there any plan to support that? Next.js and other web projects have large number of small files that is easy to upload via zip.

A: We are in the process to incorporate these options (nodejs, js frameworks, etc.), zip files upload may not available to avoid abuses, but we support "git clone" command in the terminal.

Q: Great tool! Suggestions and quick questions

Hello Interactive Shell team,

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?

Thanks again for your amazing work!

Q: Can Interactive Shell help me with this task?

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/.
