Apparently it doesn't have Sass Support which kind of makes it not viable for me. Otherwise pretty great for hacking up small projects when you don't want to setup your whole environment yourself.

Sass support is landing late Aug or early Sept :)

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!

As I already said in another comment, Sass support would be a huge deal for me and our team. Without it, it's not that viable for us to use since we write all our styling in scss. But it's still very nice and I would certainly use it for small projects or some fast hackups.

This looks great, but why is it better than say, plnkr? Other than the tooling and some features like offline use etc. It's essentially the same yeah?

I think our announcement posts covers this well: https://medium.com/@ericsimons/stackblitz-online-vs-code-ide...

tl;dr — we're trying to create the first fully in-browser IDE, not a playground :)

This looks really cool, just one quick question - I'm not really interested in all that Angular/React stuff, I just want my favourite VS Code in the browser (as a 'thin' client between my browser and my VPS, for example). Is this thing modular to allow for this, or is this meant to be just an Angular/React tool? Thanks!

Vs code was written first as a browser based editor before it evolved into what it is now. I believe you can still run parts of it in the browser, but I can't try to find it now since I'm on mobile

The first? c9.io has been around for ages, right.

Sourcegraph has been able to do this albeit with some modifications. So it should be possible
