While I know it's not the fault of the vscode team, it sucks that Firefox feels like a second class citizen since it doesn't support the File System Access API.

This is because Microsoft doesn't seem to want Windows developers to use VS Code. They want to keep them locked into Visual Studio and Windows Azure, which is why the C# plugin is one of the worst from all language plugins in Code.
That's a pretty strange implication. I just tried opening up a .NET Core application in VS Code developed exclusively in Visual Studio, and it fired right up. Now I certainly wouldn't say that the debugging experience is as good as VS, but nobody should expect it to be. VS Code isn't supposed to be a replacement for VS, although it can certainly hold it's own. And it's free .
VS community is also free :)
Re: Vscode.dev
#103Part of the Visual Studio Code brand is that it's open source. With this snarky announcement, they've changed that. I've been using https://vscodium.com/ and who knows when there will be a web version. :(

Yeah, Microsoft supporting Google via Chrome feels a lot like big Oil supporting frakking technology.
Re: Vscode.dev
#105I find a couple things pretty neat here: 1 - All of the screenshots are from a Mac. This never would have happened with the old MSFT. 2 - The performance of this is pretty good. Admittedly, I just played with this for a couple minutes, but even opening a folder with a bunch of files was snappy.
Microsoft has long been one of the biggest application vendors on the Mac, there were previous eras where most of the screenshots of Office would have been taken on a Mac too. Though yes, never would have happened in the "Windows is our sports team, hoo rah" parts of the Ballmer era.

You can do this right now on android. If you're using chrome/chromium based browser, just visit vscode.dev and then select add to home screen from the browser menu. A similar option exists in firefox on android too, I believe. Once you open the shortcut created from the previous step, it will open the webapp without the browser's UI.
How did you get Chrome not to hijack right-clicks?
I didn't play around with it much. It might have the issues you're facing.
Re: Vscode.dev
#107This seems really cool, and seems like it took a lot of man hours to put together. However, I'm not sure who this is for. Downloading and installing an application is not a particularly big ask for the type of people who use VSCode. The browser version will always be a compromised experience, given the inherent limitations of browser applications. Even if it works 99% of the time, that 1% would add enough friction to…

#108I was hoping this would be the thing that makes coding on an iPad not awful. But any keyboard shortcuts are consumed by Safari, so it's a pain to use. However, I hope that this enables the VS Code team to make a native iOS/Android VS Code app that would essentially just be a web browser that uses this functionality.

Nice, this works on iPad with Safari as well. At the very least, simple key binds work. Thanks!

Downloading and installing an application is not a particularly big ask for the type of people who use VSCode It's like how nerdy types could easily slap together their own Dropbox, with rsync and duct tape (as per the famous comment), but most didn't - plus the world is not just full of types who'd do it. And then MS can start adding all kinds of collaboration tools built in,…
"I can imagine an enterprise giving devs just this + something like local/Cloud VPS/CI/CD environment to work in." That sounds horrible.
That is how many of us used to work on UNIX and similar timesharing OSes.
The cloud + browser is back to the future.

FTA: "This simple gateway to the local machine quickly opens some interesting scenarios for using VS Code for the Web as a zero-installation local development tool, such as: * Local file viewing and editing. Quickly take notes (and preview!) in Markdown. Even if you are on a restricted machine where you cannot install the full VS Code, you may still be able to use vscode.dev to view and edit local files. * Build clie…
Your solutions are to problems that a decent developer doesn't accept anyway. Working on locked down machine where you are not allowed to have visual code? Seriously? Working on a chromebook? Why? Sorry to be negative but I feel sometimes you tech guys get excited about solutions to problems that doesn't actually exist in the real world.
