Good tip, although it's not vscode.dev, but github.dev. Slightly different thing as explained in this section: https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2021/10/20/vscode-dev#_github https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2021/10/20/vscode-dev#_g...

it's neat but I wish it would also allow you to run code in a vm when you do this, so you could do things like linting, running test suites, etc before actually committing code. Without those things, this is really limited in its usefulness for any serious project, and more or less most useful as an overpowered CMS for GitHub pages blog sites or something.

  Github Codespaces is a way to do exactly that, but you have to pay for it by the hour.

    (shameless plug) I have been working on something that does this for free: https://tym.so https://tym.so . Basically, it's an in-browser vscode that can connect to any computer with a one-line install. So you can edit and run code from the browser (edit from any device run on any other device) and also has some multiplayer features when you share your url. Would you be interested in trying it?
