I prefer a lot of Desktop apps and prefer them not to be electron based which lately is not possible I assume (unless you build your own). Feel free to subscribe to my email newsletter and connect on Facebook or Twitter Thank you for reading, and let's connect!

How do you feel about these online editors? I'm sure these are even possible with some extensions and very keen to see what this will bring over time! Option to run docker images on the cloud (Codespaces/Vercel/etc) There are some kinks to iron out for it to be entirely a solution on its own. This makes total sense in the current day and age. We can sign in to some online tools and take off from where we left. Our hardware becomes less and less critical (meaning whatever we have on it locally). We started this article by asking if these editors are the future?Īnd to be honest with you, I do think it's very viable. The downsides are, for now, no way to run and debug.

It can also open GitHub links and even azure links! The cool part is that this has wider use, as it can even load local files! To open a new editor, you can type v in your browser, and a new editor will spool up. More recently, we got a new addition to the online editor family, being VS code themselves. This feature is only available to teams and organizations.įor more information, visit the GitHub Codespace website. The cool part about Codespaces is that you can run your code there. The look and feel are the same, but you are running on a VM. GitHub recently also launched GitHub Codespaces, which is a blazing fast cloud environment. The main downside is, of course, not being able to run it. Yes, click-through works!Īll and all, it's a super powerful way to edit code.
