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.

#13There was a lot of good thing about that setup. Nobody could walk home with code, and no code was lost on somebody laptop.
Execution happened on a server, much more powerful than any dev machine.

#15Has 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

Doesn't full disk encryption solve that as well as putting it in the cloud (and you'd need encryption anyway)

#18Why does an open source browser code editor ask for my phone number to sign up?
Re: Coder (Visual Studio Code in browser) goes open source
#19Requires 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.
