Doesn't work with Remote SSH. :(

Most likely it's because you cant have raw tcp connections in a browser.

Go to an GitHub Repo and Press the "." Key-> VSCode Starts in the Browser for this Repo.

Amazing! Just searched for it yesterday after buying a tablet. Found stackblitZ, code-server solutions, and today this is being published! What a crazy coincidence. Thank you OP for posting it!

I mean aren’t they both owned by Microsoft?

They are most likely very different teams though...
Not sure what your comment really brings to the convo.

I was just pointing out that it makes sense that they would integrate vs code/ GitHub as much as possible. So this move makes a lot of sense

Could be better. I try and use it to jump into a PR request and it doesn’t always load the changed files (/the pr request)

I think they really want to use the GitHub integration. If you have your code in GitHub, you can launch a browser on any computer and start editing.

ANY computer?
I mean is it virtualized? Or is it vscode in the browser window?
Cuz if it's vscode in the browser window that could be problematic on older machines.

It's the same code-base as the desktop version which is javascript running on the client. How old of a computer are you talking about? It's not going to run well on an old Pentium but it runs well enough on my computer with a 10 year old intel core i5.

Any computer as in "you just need a browser and you're good to go". So no, not ANY computer, you still need the processing power.

I think Codeanywhere is a lot better for that use case. It has terminal access for host and collaborator

"Fast forward to today. Now when you go to https://vscode.dev, you'll be presented with a lightweight version of VS Code running fully in the browser. Open a folder on your local machine and start coding."

Are you being intentionally obtuse? Open vscode.dev and hit open folder. It uses a folder on your local machine, which means you can use vscode without having to download it.

I think the point /u/davidsterry is making, is that running VS Code locally, your in control of deployments, installations and updates. Running in a browser, in a hosted environment, introduces the risk of unexpected and blocking changes should something go wrong.

I bumped into https://www.gitpod.io/ the other day, which runs VSCode as web app as well, but also spins a VM where your repo is cloned, and so stuff like using the terminal tab and building/running your project work exactly how you'd expect.
Screenshot comparison, same project in vscode.dev vs gitpad.io:
