I just tried out the i3 repo linked at the bottom of the blog post, and uh wow. Here we have what looks like an X Window session, accessible via (presumably) VNC embedded into the browser, running a custom tiling window manager (i3), with xterm, neovim, and firefox available. All on a site that’s supposed to be for writing code and hosting apps.

X and xterm are accessible because they also let you run graphical apps, for example you can program using pygame. I'm not sure why they would add neovim and Firefox.
It was more of a silly demonstration showing what's possible and less about being practical. :)
