It lets folks run the latest VSCode version on a remote server,... - Source: dev.to / over 3 years ago

• Now 0pen VS Code in Your Browser [RE#11]

  If contributed on the project, or tried to build and run it from the source code, you’ve probably seen VS Code’s intrinsic capability to run in a browser. Other than that, people would basically expect Electron based applications, like VS Code, natively run in a Chromium/Chrome instance. Some third-party services, like StackBlitz or Gitpod are providing this feature for free. There are open source repositories as... - Source: dev.to / over 3 years ago
