Cool. Another online IDE for developer.

I used theia-ide of openshift.io. It's good as well but sometimes the browser tab was freeze and I had to reload. A bit annoy. An other choice is Google Cloudshell.

Not just another IDE, my friend. VS Code is truly fantastic.

This uses Abhishek Thakur's great package on GitHub here: https://github.com/abhishekkrthakur/colabcode Video example by Abhishek: https://youtu.be/7kTbM3D02jU

The video tutorial and eventually the package was inspired by the blog post and the tweet. :) (also mentioned in the video)

Note that this is not "actual" VSCode, but its fork code-server, that takes VSCode and modifies it to run in a browser.

This package just installs code-server on Google Colab, whatever that is.

Hosted VSCode instances that Microsoft has on Azure and in beta on GitHub are a different thing and are not open source.

As there are already other projects using vscode to produce an online IDE, I think "just another" is quite fair.

Ironically given that VSCode was born as online IDE to start with.
