Coder (Visual Studio Code in browser) goes open source

Does it work well on iPad with an external keyboard? I've been surprisingly frustrated with the lack of support for iPad by in-browser IDEs.

Monaco doesn't support mobile browsers, so no, probably not well.

Requires a login to try. Should have non-login trial, or youtube video.

Github login also requires a phone number, which is definitely something I'm not willing to enter.

Seems that (at least one) related bug got fixed in WebKit (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149054#c17), but I haven't tested with the latest iOS betas

Has anyone tried this and compared it to https://www.theia-ide.org/?

First thing off the bat I notice is that Coder looks harder to deploy or try out, Theia was super easy, on the landing page they had a docker one liner:

docker run -it -p 3000:3000 -v "$(pwd):/home/project:cached" theiaide/theia:next

Is this based on the same JS code editor as VS Code?

Visual Studio Code in browser sounds a lot like Visual Studio Code itself.
