No theia has a nodejs server backing its web experience. This vscode.dev is an entirely client side JS application that runs in your browser--there's no backend server beyond something to serve a pile of static JS and html.
- mohanmcgeek 5y agoIs this true about vscode.dev? This was the first question I had while reading the blogpost: Do all my local files stay on my machine or do they get uploaded to a remote server?
- qbasic_forever 5y agoThe blog post says it's using a brand new local file access API only in cutting edge browsers (edge and chrome) so you can access the files on your machine directly from the browser. There is no server upload of anything.
- tracnar 5y agoAh yes that's cool, they mention even the Python extension can run client-side.
