## About

DartPad is an open-source web-based developer tool designed for writing, compiling, and executing Dart and Flutter code directly within standard web browsers. It provides an immediate sandbox environment for testing language features, prototyping user interfaces, and sharing snippets via gists without requiring any local SDK installation or complex configuration setups. It supports both standard Dart console applications and Flutter UI rendering.
