In a first-class way? Probably some day!

Today the way you can do it is either 1) polling for new things (scheduled vals make this really easy) or 2) creating a webhook with val town (also super easy if the service you want has webhooks).

Happy to help with either of these: email me at steve@val.town if you want to pair program or something :)




Yeah, that’s a feasible work-around.

I’m thinking the val author could require a Notion auth in order to run the val. Once I’m logged-in, the val can use my creds to make requests to Notion API on my behalf.

What would also be a amazing is to be able to configure custom inputs and show a UI to add/overwrite these input params before I run a val. I’m thinking similar to the forms feature in Google Colab

Our use case: we have some TypeScript scripts that we want to expose to our non-technical folks. Currently we share the scripts via GitHub and let them run them with Deno as CLI.

Thanks for your kind offer, btw.! We don’t have a urge right now, but will be more than happy to migrate our scripts to val, once there is a way to work around the points above!

Really love what you’re doing with val. We are big fans already and will be watching closely!


Great ideas! I am particularly enamored by the google colab forms - thanks so much for that pointer!

Yeah, I'd love to win that usecase away from github scripts + locally running via deno! One day!


One more thing: just tried the editor and one thing i’m already missing is GitHub co-pilot. Maybe there is a way to integrate co-pilot into val? Zed editor just did same very recently
