Open the starter in the browser
Open in CodeSandboxView on GitHub
The starter repo is not public yet. These links use the placeholder OWNER/REPO.
CodeSandbox opens the starter folder straight from GitHub (the same link githubbox.com creates). Sign in to CodeSandbox to fork it and save your changes.
CodeSandbox and GitHub repositories
CodeSandbox stopped new GitHub repository imports in 2026. Synced templates (the link above) still work. For full repository editing in the browser, GitHub Codespaces is the alternative.
Good habits
- Use outside sites as references. Your tokens and components stay the source of truth.
- Check the licence before you copy code from any site.
- Never paste API keys or tokens into a tool, a sandbox or chat.
