The web version you linked does not support the remote SSH extension, which is critical for many folks workflows. I can’t do any work without that extension.
I’m curious if the android version supports this extension?
It's certainly not as ergonomic as using the SSH extension directly, but you can SSH manually to your dev box, open a vscode tunnel, then connect to that from vscode.dev in a pinch.
I didn't read thoroughly enough. I have not tried that one yet. It should work as many people use SSH from the UserLAnd app, which this is similar to. If you try it out before we do, remember that android blocks apps from using the first 1k ports, so you have to run ssh on port 2022 or something like that, instead of the normal port 22.
I will make a point of getting that working if it doesn't.
Ironic that you call it a walled garden when the online version is not self hostable as actual VSCode is and is offered online at Microsoft's sole discretion.
Microsoft's version does not work on mobile. I have tried many times to make it work on Chrome on Android, but it just isn't designed to work on a small screen and is unusable. It's sad.
When I got out of jail all I had was smartphones I would borrow from friends and the only way I could end up developing sanely was to open a terminal to a Linux box and just use nano instead, which meant no IDE with auto-complete, syntax lookups, formatting and most importantly, debugging.
it's probably not as obvious when you are just out of jail(which is a shame, being locked up should be exactly the time when you can educate yourself, but not in real life probably)
But using linux terminal as devbox doesnt mean you dont have access to modern auto-complete syntax lookups formating etc, there are vim/neovim/emacs with any kind of configurations for all of it, and it can be preconfigured by others with projects like https://github.com/AstroNvim/AstroNvim or https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs
So if you know anyone in the same kind of situation, you can advise them to use that.
Is there an open source / self hosted version of that (preferably with support for remote ssh, since it should be easy to support in a self-hosted environment)
