Wow, this is impressive and quite crazy! Ok so how does the VS Code thing work? I browsed the source (in VS Code in your website of course) and found the VS code component but I didn't quite understand -- it seemed to just be an iframe pointing at the README src. And yet it appeared sufficiently like I was actually in a VSCode instance to fool me.

Yes, it's an iframe embedding a third party service, https://github1s.com/. "It appeared sufficiently like I was actually in a VSCode instance" because it is a VSCode instance.

Ohhh right, thanks! I did see that HN discussion so I should have spotted the github1s URL. Lots of fun tricks going on...
