Another use case is the ability to code on the iPad. First step to transitioning developers from laptop to tablet. The next step would be getting a native terminal in iPadOS.

Great timing!

I just ordered a USB adapter and a keyboard/mouse monstrosity so I can study at work. I have a lot of dead time at work and looking to make use of it.

I was just making the initial searches into mobile IDEs last night, this is great news!

Another use case for low end PC users. As we all love StackOverFlow, so to copy code we have to open chrome & vscode separately consuming a lot of RAM (*low end stuffs*), now the problem is solved as we only have to open Chrome and that's it.

Or be like me. Secretly learning being a Webdev at work. And now I have access to VSCode without the need of installing it on a work PC. Brilliant!

can I launch an html file or webpage in my browser from there? live server extension doesn't seem to work on there.

Thanks for update on the VS for the browser.. Well done, James.

That Night Owl theme is the most beautiful thing I've seen. Thanks!

Settings Sync is pretty good too at this point (if you're into that), but there's still a lot of extensions that may never work without full access to the filesystem :(

I have question. How do you open folder on vscode in browser in your friend/cousin’s laptop instead of your laptop with your folder?

[ravitejaknts]

You can use Keyboard shortcuts when you install this web version

[ArjenHaayman]

since chromebooks have linux now vscode works really well. It's my main hobby dev machine now

[rabiaimran]

how to run project in web vscode terminal my terminal opened but showing me that terminals are not available in web editor so what is the solution can you guide me??

[donmikkodanm.olmillo]

Hopefully the codespaces will be the fully fledge version.

The only practical use case is for editing the markdown. Because you can preview it. Imagine being in a browser, and you can't even run html / javascript. Might as well us gitpod, it gives you a real browser vscode experience. Or code-server.

how can in run my code in vs code for web? there is no play button or terminal

[Goldsacs]

Seems your code for the most part will be locally stored with local file system access. Good for when managers get hung up on where code is.

[jwaugh]

is there an alternative to the live server extension since there is no terminal available?

[bscodev]

Wow interesting, is good advanced. Thanks!

[stephandelaat]

Some programs are not allowed to be used in a corporate environment. This way you can still use visual studio code.
