openvscode-server VS openvsx

> Yeah, sadly there are entry level laptops cheaper than a phone or said monitor plus a keyboard and mouse

Many people already have a monitor, mouse, and keyboard lying around. They'll also have a phone already. Plus, there are very cheap docks where you can just slide your phone into a laptop shell, priced similarly to the worst and most awful Chromebooks imaginable.

> So nothing works offline.

You can run a vscode server on your phone (https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server/releases). What's lacking is the VSCode GUI, so pointing a browser at http://[::1]:8080/ will work just fine.

This already exists!! https://www.gitpod.io/

https://www.gitpod.io/ does this

Not sure what .devcontainer means, but you can take a look to https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server or https://github.com/coder/code-server

We look forward to integrating more with Gitpod in the future! Check out the Gitpod homepage for more information and new development environment templates.

I suggest you check out https://www.gitpod.io, which does more general provisioning of GitOps clusters/Pods in their managed Kubernetes clusters. It's not specifically ML, but we've looked at it for POC ML projects that want basic hosting.

People have been using tools like jsfiddle for quick experiments for years, but it's been limited to playing with client-side stuff. However, full-fledged web IDEs were maturing fast in 2022. For example, Codesandbox now provides good support for full-stack frameworks like Next and Nuxt by spinning up remote containers to run the server-side workload and emulate a "local" experience for you. Gitpod adopts a similar technology but looks more ambitious in reaching deeper into development life cycles. The most exciting among all is StackBlitz. It took the courageous step to implement a full NodeJS implementation with Web Assembly (called WebContainer). With that, your backend code can run right inside your browser. No need to spin up remote containers and no need to transmit data back and forth across the network. It's a truly local environment. This approach sounds like the only practical way of solving the problem and turning Web IDEs into mainstream usage.

I personally use DDev and Docksal due to work requirements. Personally I like Lando. With either of these, you can set your virtual environment to the specifics of that site. Makes life very easy. Another option that I have used is https://www.gitpod.io/ which isn't even local. It works pretty well and can connect. I have also been meaning to try github's workspace, but that may just be for Javascript applications (need to read up more)

The following are some of the most common extension types on the Visual Studio Code Marketplace and Open VSX Registry, an open-source, community-driven extension registry for Visual Studio Code (VS Code) extensions.

Eclipse runs the Open VSX registry that VS Codium uses. Eclipse also has a fork of VS Code called Theia.

https://theia-ide.org/

> So to use an extension in VSCode, it has to be published in Microsoft's store?

You can always download the extension (or build it yourself) and install it manually - using Code or Codium. You can use the Open VSX registry with Code, but you have to configure it: https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx/wiki/Using-Open-VSX-in-VS....

The extension is not available on https://open-vsx.org/ ? (The market place for VSCodium)

Would you consider supporting the open vsx repo in your release workflow for those of us on VSCodium?

I didn't know about https://open-vsx.org/. Very nice! But besides those languages, they are also missing things like the remote ssh extension, which is a big deal breaker for me (and I assume many others regardless of language).

Any chance you could publish it to Open VSX as well, for the people not using the Microsoft version?

no there's lots of extensions available on vscodium, just not the same ones (https://open-vsx.org)

Do you have plans to publish Tooltitude to the Open VSX Registry, to make it available for VSCodium and other VSCode-compatible editors?
