This looks awesome!! The code editor space may seem saturated, but it's not! I've been looking for an alternative to VS Code for some time.
Some things I'm really excited for:
- Remote development as a first-class citizen! I use code-server a ton now, but getting away from browser jank would be nice.
- In the future I wonder if something besides SSH would work for the connection. SSH doesn't handle bad connections or closing a laptop and moving very well. I use wireguard to connect to my code-server instance right now and it's pretty close to feeling like I develop locally.
- Lighter and faster. Why does my laptop always have to be burning...
- A more FOSS ecosystem. VS Code is "open source" but not really in practice. Some important extensions (from Microsoft) have non-foss licenses and the standard distribution is built with non-foss tidbits. There are projects like Codium that rectify these issues to some degree.

- AllanLRH 5y agoI think Microsoft replaced SSH in vscode remote, part of the motivation being that the default SSH port (22?) is often blocked on corporate networks. I believe they use websockets instead, and I wonder if that might help with the problems associated with putting your computer to sleep and resuming your work (and connection)?
