Right. Well, from what I can see, even the elements on the page and the offline editor works exactly same as your project. Almost everything, even the `npm install` thing is the same. All in all, what you have done is great and absolutely useful for quick tests.

...CodeSandbox has no offline support whatsoever. It sounds like your motivation is to promote an unrelated product in this HN thread, and that's super lame :(

Sorry I didn't mean to. I was curious and asked some questions because both projects looks very very close to each other.

I just tested the offline support of CodeSandbox and I did manage to work with the editor (the same functionality you've mentioned in the blog post) when the network is offline. You can't test it here: https://codesandbox.io/s/new

Again, what you did is absolutely perfect and I don't want or mean to underestimate your work! :)

I think they simply didn't understand the distinction that one runs js bins (npm install, webpack build) on a server, and the other in the browser. They also might not understand why it matters.

You're telling me that CSB hosts a live dev server inside of a service worker that works across browser tabs? That's patently false. This is ours in action, for reference (was even included in the blog post) -> https://twitter.com/ericsimons40/status/893238309085822977

If you're genuinely just confused about how this stuff works, please _ask questions_ instead of making random assertions. Otherwise people get the impression you're shilling a separate product.

Care to explain further?

Creator here — thanks for posting our project! For more info, check out my Medium announcement post here: https://medium.com/@ericsimons/stackblitz-online-vs-code-ide... :) Happy to answer any q's & would love to hear your feedback!

Is it actually a modified version of VScode (As sourcegraph does) or are you just using the Monaco editor? As some mentioned in other comments i would also be insterested in running vscode frontend in the browser while havinf the backend in a VPS. Thanks and congrats on the project it's great!

Yes, that's one use case (desktop/web interop) where using something Electron.JS might actually make sense (to the extreme detriment of battery life, memory usage, and CPU usage).

There's already Atom In Space but it's not complete I don't think. Not sure how hard/reliable it would be to run.

A minor thing which struck me when reading the Medium post.

When early on, the Angular folks were energetically arguing that the reason you could count on Angular 1, was because they were building on a new technology no-one had ever used before (!), and they were backed by Google (!), my thought was: you've just told me a great deal, but it's likely not what you had in mind.

> we Microsoft!

I had the same thought reading this.

EDIT: Fyi, esft.com, linked from your twitter, is currently 502.
