Why use Juicy?

• Juicy supports private npm packages. Just install juicy-repl globally and host it on your machine, tell it which packages to include, and in less than a minute you have a custom REPL running locally.
• Flow. Juicy supports Flow syntax, allowing you to copy and paste directly from your source without making syntax modifications.
• 300+ themes. Juicy implements all themes from Rainglow. Thanks to Dayle Rees for building these themes.
• Same editor as VS Code.
• Autocomplete/intellisense
• Easy sharing. Quickly create a link to what you're working on and share it with anyone.
• Save your work. Juicy allows you to pin your work and return to it at anytime without any need to signup or login.
• Last but not least, Juicy is just plain awesome!
