Description

After many many tries, I have desisted from using jsPerf. It eventually classifies me as a spammer, or it fails, or whatever, and refuses to save or execute my work.

There is an alternative to get rid of all *auth* problems, spammers, minimize the amount of required database, and at the same time keep that great app working: use gists.

¿Is it possible to create a form to use a GitHub gist as a performance experiment, and execute it from the platform?
¿Is it possible to register the gist, so the platform lists it like any other experiment?
¿Is it possible to use GitHub API to clone a performance gist almost automatically?

Thanks in advance for that great work.

Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how jsPerf currently authenticates users, saves experiments, executes them, and lists them, then review the GitHub Gist API; done would require an agreed design for creating, registering, cloning, and running gist-backed experiments.
