I see where you come from, but there is a lot of software that can be written without sandbox access to OS’ kernel or filesystem.

In particular, wanting to run absolutely everything in local is reasonable, but not a requirement I think.

Currently the only thing that’s really lacking is direct git integration into Coda or the other editors, and I know Panic is working on it. Git apps can be used to bridge the gap but it’s just too combersome.

Otherwise, accessing an external DB , or even having my code run on a VM somewhere else is not an issue as long as I can remotely debug.
