How will it be different from Github CodeSpaces, CodeAnywhere, and other ones out there?

CodeSpaces works really really well

Its more a mix of ide and cloud provider.

The goal is to provide a much simpler experience compared to today's cloud providers and kubernetes, while giving the opportunity to ad-hoc code directly in the browser.

* Be able to work offline

* Good vim emulation, use neovim as a backend if possible

* Make it easy to configure and extend

* Low input latency

We ave a vim emulator but neovim sounds great :)
the ability to develop iOS apps in Swift and test them without buying a mac or an iPhone
wow that would be super awesome, have to check if licensing is possible (probably not)
