gitpod VS codesandbox-client

Gitpod (https://www.gitpod.io) is a great option here. It aims to remove the ops burden, provide a great developer experience and give you tools to manage your spend (eg automatic timeouts, suspend/resume, standardized creation of environments).

Full disclosure: I’m one of Gitpod’s co-founders.

As an alternative for Cloud9, you can use vscode.dev, which runs VS Code in the browser or other alternatives that are more integrated and personalized like gitpod.io or Github Codespaces.

Then, we had the rise of the cloud and the arrival of cloud-based IDEs. The first cloud-based IDE was PHPanywhere (eventually becoming CodeAnywhere) in 2009, followed by Cloud9 in 2010 (before AWS bought it in 2016), Glitch (2018), GitPod (2019), GitHub Codespaces (2020), and Google’s Project IDX (2024).

If you didn't want to setup anything and just wanted to start immediately. You can click on the button below to launch the project in Gitpod.

Gitpod: It provides a Chrome extension that opens a VS Code-based IDE right in your browser. It is best for running the project in your browser without setting up and running locally.

CodeSandbox prototype fun stuff faster

CodeSandbox Examples: Check out CodeSandbox for live projects using Shadcn UI. It’s a great way to see the toolkit in action.

I am thankful for a platform like CodeSandbox because it allows me to offload majority of the processing power and memory resources to the cloud. With a local VS Code installed, I can tunnel in via a remote connection to work on my projects, tinker, or do a deep-dive on certain topics; all while ensuring that the RPi 4 still has sufficient resources left to run other things in the background.

To create a new React JS environment in CodeSandbox. Similar domains include js.new, vue.new, etc.,

I have, it's called Visual Studio Code and I ditched my old native editor(s) for it.

I'd even suggest that the fact that it's JS based has significantly changed the tech world because the editor itself will run in a browser so it's here https://godbolt.org/ , and here https://codesandbox.io, and here https://www.postman.com/, and here https://aws.amazon.com/pm/cloud9/ and 100s or 1000s of other sites.

CodeSandbox for web-first collaborative projects.

Tools like CodeSandbox, Replit, or even a minimal GitHub repository can host your reproduction without exposing your private environment. Ideally a public Github repository should be included.

If you don't fancy a local development environment, you can use https://codesandbox.io to host your code.
