I'm going to go the other way on this. I like this idea, but I can see it's not for everyone.

I like to do some Javascript coding with my son on his Chromebook, and having a development environment is a hard problem for us to solve for some reason.

Having a webpage that just spins up VSCode and allows us to publish and test in a registry might be just what we need, no?

I'm the same as you.

I know lots of devs are different, but if I could do all my work in a web app and never install any development software in my laptop, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
