I miss c9 which was bought by Amazon. It had a VM running behind it with a terminal so I was able to do .net core development. A couple times I wasn't home and wanted to fix a bug in my project so I was able to login to c9, spin up my project in the browser and it committed back to github.

It’s still around - https://aws.amazon.com/cloud9/
Personally, I’m using Tailscale + VS Code with the Remote-SSH plug-in, accessing my home server.

Yup but no free tier now :D not paying for it for open source dev stuff. Rather just run the IDE on my laptop. Was handy when using someone elses computer.
Why do you have to miss it? Any of the contemporary online IDEs can do more than that now (I ran docker containers in github codespaces) and you can theme it like Ace if that's your thing.

Miss it cos there's no free tier now. Speaking of codespaces I just got an invite last week. Still to check it out tho.

Does Cloud9 on Amazon no longer let you do that? I used it back in college but haven't really kept up with its current status.
