Repl.it useful for us?

I’d just heard of a collaborative coding site, http://repl.it – seems like it might be right up our alley. I wonder if there is some way to hack it to run code locally, like Troop does?

Asking in part because I’m not in a place where it’s easy for me to set up a Troop server but it would have been useful this semester. If there’s an online editor that does the heavy lifting of code sync and it could be extended to interface with various live coding tools, that could save some configuration trouble. I’m tempted to ask them myself, just wondering if someone else already did.
