theia

I still use vscodium because there are some features that it has not in the Theia IDE (namely inserting links and images in markdown through drag and drop *) I like the idea of Theia as a platform. Maybe it would be worth it for me to make a Theia based IDE and implement the drag and drop markdown links feature myself? I am worried about the lack of use of the platform by projects though. Edit: Actually, it does seem to be used by other projects though not very well known ones. So it might not be that bad of an idea to use as the bases for mine. Edit 2: Then again some language servers and debug adapters don't work fully with Theia **. * https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/languages/markdown#_inser... ** https://discourse.julialang.org/t/compatibility-between-thei... ** https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/issues/8472

Each time I try to use Theia IDE I have such a bad experience: * On each start, Ada & SPARK extension pops up a dialog that I have to close by clicking 12 times (I counted it) on its "Cancel" button. * I can't permanently remove items from the left sidebar. It looks like Theia is unable to persist some things between runs. * The IDE notifies me about bad tasks.json config and proposes to open it to fix, but the "Open" button doesn't do anything. * Open VSX extensions do not update automatically. [1] I have to manually switch their versions to the newer ones. * Just now I've manually updated Ada & SPARK extension. Not only was I presented with several options with exactly the same version (perhaps each was meant for different CPU arch or operating system?), but after choosing the first one and reloading editor as the IDE asked me to, the e

> Following DeepSeek's disruption of the LLM landscape, the Eclipse Foundation bets that collaborative, open source AI tooling can outmaneuver billion-dollar proprietary competitors. Maybe! Eclipse Theia was a pretty great web capable editor when I gave it a spin in ~2018. The main thing I've wanted has been collaboration. Looks like there's been some real progress on that front, as of this past fall. Definitely like the idea of multiparty IDEs, and if AI can come play in that mix that will would be interesting! Feels like AI has been a pretty solo you & the machine experience. https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/issues/2842

How would you compare the three options, - https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server - https://github.com/coder/code-server - https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia I'm not sure if I'm reading it right, but the contributor graph looks like it's only 1-2 people working on each of the projects.

Collaboration capabilities are a high rank priority for me. After years of not really getting anywhere, there's been some promising movement this year, but still in long open draft form. https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/issues/2842

You can look at https://theia-ide.org, https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia

90% of VS Code is typescript that already works fine in the browser. There's just a small layer of nodejs to interface with the local filesystem and run processes. Quite a few projects have existed that pull the core of VS code out into the browser and reimplement the small platform layer on their own: - Eclipse Theia: https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia - Coder: https://github.com/cdr/code-server I'm sure there are countless versions for mobile that are hasty Cordova-based versions of the VS Code core too.

As easy as it would be to pile on the author here, to me this serves as a stark reminder of the how overwhelming a difficult coding, and setting up environments can seem to beginners. I think this author is a the perfect target audience for Gitpod https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia. With it, you can login with Github, paste the URL of your project into the address bar, and boom! You've got a VSCode clone with NodeJS installed already.

Serious question: why? I think its very useful when an editor in a browser like with Repl.it, GitPod, and this project, but when the editor is running on your desktop using your own browser seems much nicer. You can use all the devtools, extensions, etc that you are accustomed to. Btw the theia editor, pretty much VS Code, does have this feature [0] [0] https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia

No. I'm talking about local vs remote development. Can you even spin up a webserver on an ipad to run codeserver? Or does it rely on an external webserver to run and build your application. If you know what a thin client is, then you're effectively describing that for an iPad. Anything is a thin client - even your phone. Until we live in a remote first world with everything built with that experience, you're just describing another type of platform like this: https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia Except you've made it a DIY thing and claiming that it's a the solution for doing development on an iPad which is clearly false.

Please see https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/issues/7349#issuecomm... You can try Theia via Gitpod: https://dev.to/svenefftinge/continuous-dev-environments-the-... For instance run Theia repo itself: https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia

Theia does not target end users. It is IDE platform for product builders. Think if you want to build domain specific IDE which inherits VS Code UX. See who is using Theia and why here: https://dev.to/svenefftinge/theia-1-0-finally-a-good-browser... For end users, we build Gitpod to provide continious development environment: https://dev.to/svenefftinge/continuous-dev-environments-the-... For instance try to run Theia: https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia After try to build Theia from sources locally.

Sorry, to hear it. Theia is an IDE platform and does not target end users but product builders. For end users, we build Gitpod based on Theia to support continious dev environments: https://dev.to/svenefftinge/continuous-dev-environments-the-... You can try to open Theia in Gitpod: https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia Alternatively we provide community supported docker images: https://github.com/theia-ide/theia-apps

Yeah, it came to surprise to us too. We are going to merge PhosphorJS into Theia repo and make it more configurable: https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/issues/6501
