I built an online Lua editor — here's what I learned

I recently launched LuaPlay, a free browser-based Lua editor. No setup, no install — just open the site and write Lua.
Why I built it:
Every time I wanted to test a quick Lua snippet, I had to either open a local environment or use tools that weren't built for Lua specifically. So I built my own.
What it does:

Run Lua scripts directly in the browser
Clean, minimal editor interface
Free to use

Would love feedback from the dev community. What features would make you actually use it day-to-day?
