I wonder if it's usable from an iPad. I haven't tried an online ide before, but if it works well it could be a great mobile development tool.
It would be awesome if this could be setup as a backend for vim as well. Given how well Coc.vim integrates with VSCode tooling, I'm cautiously optimistic.
That's correct it's usable from an iPad during the beta. There are a few known issues but we're planning on addressing those so that we can support this workflow (I work as the product lead on Codespaces).
Super excited to hear this, I had the exact same question reading the page. Any chance you'd be willing to slip us a peak on when we could reasonably (even a Qx ballpark) on when Beta begins?
I've been self-hosting VS Code Server ( https://github.com/cdr/code-server ) and using it from Chrome on my iPad with a keyboard and mouse when I'm on the road..
If this is the same or similar approach, then it should work just fine.
If the pricing for Codespaces is reasonable, I'm going to move to that for sure. It's been kind of a hassle to keep my self-hosted setup running properly.
Hey, the first tweet is mine. Codespaces work pretty great on an iPad. We're going to be making improvements to the experience here as we get to GA but we know it's a scenario everyone is really excited about.
Backend may have been the wrong word, but they mention being able to connect to your codespace from VSCode running on your computer. It would be cool if you could connect to your codespace from vim running on your computer in the same way.
