code-server

The reason I use VSCode is Code Server[0]. It is certainly not as powerful as IntelliJ, but the I have to get used to it because the web-based IDE is a must for me. By the way, unless my English is terribly bad, calling someone lunatic for their choice of IDE may not be a great idea. [0] https://github.com/coder/code-server

I've been running https://github.com/coder/code-server for the past few months, and I really like it. It's basically self-hosted VS Code in a browser. I can switch from my desktop to my laptop, even to my phone, and pick up right where I left off with uncommitted changes, long running processes, etc. Additionally, I get the full resources of my server and don't have to worry about it running down my battery or causing the fans to spin up on my laptop.

From the screenshots this seems to use an X/VNC server or something, it might be good to also explore using https://github.com/coder/code-server with a native Android browser to get things like graphics acceleration (though with disadvantages like not being about to develop graphical applications)

I put code-server[1] on a Linux box of mine, which gives me a whole proper IDE in the browser. I use it a lot on my Boox tablet with a bluetooth keyboard and it works great. [1] https://github.com/coder/code-server

> Just dropping in to second VSCode remote (assuming you meant code-server). Yes and no. It is the native VSCode remote server (a closed source Microsoft version using SSH: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh), but it is also called code-server, which is often confused with coder's code-server (https://github.com/coder/code-server)

There's code-server (https://github.com/coder/code-server) which you can install on your own machine and is based off VSCode. However, it doesn't have access to some of the Microsoft VSCode extensions (although there are generally equivalents).

Why use this - a stripped down unusable version of vscode when you can host a full instance of vscode on your linux server https://github.com/coder/code-server

If you dont like the idea of having your dev environment in the cloud, coder have a self-hostable vscode docker image: https://github.com/coder/code-server

While it's not the best experience I've been using iPad for coding for over 2 years on my personal projects. My setup uses a machine at home with - https://github.com/coder/code-server - terminus - for playing with terminal work - tailscale - for VPN and accessing local servers on home server I must admit not having a ESC key in ipad keyboard is a pain as I'm a heavy vim user but after a few weeks you kind of get used to CMD + "." for escape and life moves on. IMO, the biggest pro I have for using iPad is the fact that the size and battery life as the heavy computing happens on my home server plus the small network footprint on mobile network is just helpful.

Also could install a browser based VSCode on that remote server and access that. https://github.com/coder/code-server

You can't run your code locally, but VSCode (but NOT VSCodium sadly) has a set of remote development plugins (ssh, containers, etc) that allow you to edit locally, run on a remote server. Also see code-server (https://github.com/coder/code-server) for another option.

Got a free tier you can play around with at [0] , and a few examples you can check out over at [1]. We've also got a zero-config (in-browser!) version of the whole thing [2], using code-server [3].
