Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

iOS / iPadOS 17 π Blink 17
Fixes for the new OS, general improvements, and tons of thanks to all testers for their help! https://github.com/blinksh/blink/discussions/1850

Apple debuts iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus
You can already do that with an iPad (sans fat OS). If you're using Blink Shell (https://blink.sh) the external display is independent of what's on the iPad too, which works really neatly. This is the exact setup I used as my main dev machine in a previous role.
Would be very nice to see if this works on the new iPhones. A thin client with decent security in your pocket with keyboard/mouse/display at both home and work seems like a very approachable computing setup.

Apple iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max
I use blink[0] with a 40% keyboard to develop linux program on a vps.
If you want to do programming without wireless interenet, another option is to connect a raspberry pi zero 2w (with usb gadget mode enabled) to the usb c port using a single usb cable. Then the rpi zero will share a ethernet network with iOS device. Then you can use blink (again) to mosh to raspberrypi.local to do the development on the pi.
The reason that I don't do it on android with termux is that there's no high quality terminal emulator like blink on android.

Buying an iPad Pro for coding was a mistake
There's also Blink [1] which includes a local shell (limited), ssh and mosh support, and comes with a local-first, but remote-dependent, vscode implementation. Works with vscode.dev, code-server (the coder.com and microsoft version), coder.com etc. Not free but a free TestFlight versions available if you accept to be a beta tester of sorts.
I've had moderate success using it, but overall the code-server experience has been a bit lacking, in part due to languages I use, in part due to lots of software still assuming a local-first development environment (code-server/coder.com help with this by e.g. proxying http ports in your dev environment). A real IDE/code editor running on a MacBook is still way superior.

Prompt2, heads up; they are readying up another version Prompt2 has been abandoned by devs since iOS 14 / 1y ago in a crashing state - Now they want to make another money-heist cash-grab from its users by forcing them to upgrade one of the most expensive apps of all time.
If you're okay with a subscription model for a terminal type shell, I would recommend Blink. Does everything Prompt did and more. They have a 1-week trial, and then you can subscribe for $20 a year.

Github code no longer updated?
I also opened https://github.com/blinksh/blink/issues/1777 so from now on everyone is able to see the commit reference that was used for the build.

Ed25519-sk on iOS
I took a wild stab at finding a non-subscription iOS app that supports Ed25519-sk, but ended up just moving back to ephemeral per-device ed25519 keys instead. Both Blink.sh and Terminus purport to support -sk / HW passkeys behind subscription paywalls, but I can't verify as I don't pay for subscription model apps.

iOS tools for self hosting
Big fan of Blink, makes it super easy to quickly ssh into a remote machine

Ask HN: What lesser-known accessories do you use with your computer?
SSH or mosh (via https://blink.sh/) back to a cloud/remote NixOS VM. The iPad is purely a self-contained interface with a local browser.

VS Code β What's the deal with the telemetry?
The biggest caveat would be to be aware of the default connexion to an alternative extension store, https://open-vsx.org, instead of Microsoft's own store, which does not have all the extensions the official store has. But that's less and less an issue, thanks to projects such as https://github.com/open-vsx/publish-extensions. In the worst case, I just manually `git clone`d the desired extension in my local extension folder. Nothing to complain about otherwise

VSCodium β Free/Libre Open Source Software Binaries of VS Code
Hey folks, Geoff here from Gitpod. Very please to see there continues to be interest in open (and FOSS) software development tooling. VSCodium uses the OpenVSX registry (which Gitpod folks created) because the VS Market place is proprietary and can only be connected to from offical Visual Studio branded products.
If you can't find an extension when using VSCodium then please send a pull-request to this repository https://github.com/open-vsx/publish-extensions with the identifier and that will help grow the ecosystem of open tooling.
ICMYI - We blogged more about this over at https://www.gitpod.io/blog/openvscode-server-launch, https://www.gitpod.io/blog/cloud-ide-history and https://www.gitpod.io/blog/open-vsx.

VS Code or VS Codium - Which should I use?
Create a pull request to this repository to have the @open-vsx service account publish the extensions for you. It appears that they run a batch job to keep them up-to-date.

How to code, build, and deploy from an iPad using Gitlab and Gitpod
Geoff here from Gitpod. Solid write up and overview here. Some minor clarifications and helpful pointers!
Thereβs a community WIP pull request open right now to add Gitea support.
The visual studio marketplace is proprietary (by design) and as such we created OpenVSX for the open source ecosystem then gifted it to the eclipse foundation. If you see something not in OpenVSX send the pull request here https://github.com/open-vsx/publish-extensions
And, finally, Open source communities are eligible for complimentary plan upgrades to unlimited hours. https://www.gitpod.io/blog/gitpod-for-opensource

Reflections on Software Development from Anywhere on an iPad
Send a PR to https://github.com/open-vsx/publish-extensions
> One goal of Open VSX is to have extension maintainers publish their extensions according to the documentation. However, you may be missing specific extensions that have not been published by their maintainers: either they are not willing to do it, or they haven't found time to do it, or simply they haven't heard about Open VSX yet. Though the preferred solution for such a situation is to convince the maintainers to start publishing themselves, you can add the extensions here to have them published by our CI workflow.

GitHub Codespaces is now available for everyone on GitHub Teams and GitHub Enterprise Cloud
π𧑠Geoff from Gitpod here. Thanks for your support. OpenVSX was created by Gitpod/TypeFox and gifted to the Eclipse Foundation to resolve the problem that the Visual Studio Marketplace is proprietary. Extensions can be configured to automatically be published via sending a pull-request to https://github.com/open-vsx/publish-extensions

Settings Sync error
The auto-publishing of the extension is failing, due to a misconfiguration of versions in it's package.json.

FLOSS version of VSCode and the extensions gallery
My third point addresses the FLOSS extensions not yet available on Open VSX. These can usually be added fairly easily via open-vsx/publish-extensions, or by asking the extension author to publish to Open VSX themselves. I believe this mindset is the only way in which FLOSS distributions of VS Code can ever be a viable alternative to Visual Studio Code.
What are some alternatives?
template-nixos - The NixOS template, configured for Gitpod (www.gitpod.io) to give you pre-built, nix based ephemeral operating system environments in the cloud.
openvsx - An open-source registry for VS Code extensions
tailscale - The easiest, most secure way to use WireGuard and 2FA.
vscode-cpptools - Official repository for the Microsoft C/C++ extension for VS Code.
