A thought is a browser-based IDE, with a cloud filestore (OneDrive, Dropbox, Google One/Drive (my new preferred stylization of their product)) for repo and dev environment.
Think of it like a browser-ified version of what you might do with a server and SSH.
We've got a couple JS-based editors/IDEs. We've got many cloud storage options. Now you can put git directly in browser, too. Heck, you could make a SPA and save the whole source as a file on your cloud storage - just open that up in any browser and access other files in that account (or others). Don't even carry a USB around, and still have your custom dev environment on any PC.
- komali2 8y agoI'm on a team whose primary project is a browser-based IDE. We are considering this for exactly the reason you said. Probably won't implement it because the whole "choose your own FS, also it doesn't work on github" thing, but we might plug it into our node server and writeup an API for our client to use.
