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!

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!

Thanks! And great question — I don't think we're not targeting that sort of use case unfortunately, but we will allow you to do full git in browser pretty soon here. Right now we only support React & Angular but we're opening up custom templates that will let you configure any loaders, compilers, etc :)

It would be nice to be able to launch it with a blank template as it seems to be flexible enough to work with anything that doesn't need config e.g. Vue (https://stackblitz.com/edit/react-ng1kyn?file=index.js)

This looks really really well done! Ideal for trying out components and sharing demos. Your medium post mentions > These are the two key technologies that really enabled us to pack all of the functionality inside of your web browser with virtually no server-side involvement. Can you elaborate a bit about how this is achieved? Thanks and congrats for the launch!

Thanks for the kind words! And absolutely, take a peek at this GH thread about it: https://github.com/unpkg/unpkg-website/issues/35#issuecommen...

Creator of https://plnkr.co here. Amazing work on StackBlitz. Looking forward to figuring out how it all hangs together. Very novel approach indeed.

Anecdotally, I was the one who contributed ?json support to unpkg for a related use-case (in browser editor). OSS at its best, moving everyone forward. I use use the feature to provide a similar (but more limited) package injection. Check out https://next.plnkr.co/edit/ (book icon in toolbar of html panes) to see it in action.

Yeah like the look of this, makes me wonder if one day I can code on a chromebook

Not to hijack, but I've written directly on this topic in case it's useful:

There are options around (including my own scripts at https://code.headmelted.com) and the situation is advancing steadily in terms of the tools available.

I tried one out briefly, no f.lux equivalent made it unusable for me.

Curious - many people swear by f.lux - under what work conditions does not having f.lux make it unbearable?

I understand that it adjusts the temperature of the screen to match the current time of day - but I see it as a nice-to-have feature and nothing more than that.

I have used Codeanywhere from a chromebook over the last couple of years. Not for heavy duty stuff but it gets me by in a pinch if I'm not at my own computer and need/want to edit stuff on my own server. Otherwise codepen etc is fine for me for quick on-the-go stuff.
