I just run into a bunch of errors on my Windows machine + Chrome when connected over remote-ssh. Extension installed, tab enabled, npx updated/installed, etc.

EDIT: Ended up fixing it by patching index.js. killProcessOnPort() was the problem. Can hit me up if you have questions, I cannot figure out how to put readable code in HN after all these years with the fake markdown syntax they use.

Not that HN supports much in the way of markup, but code blocks are actually the same as Markdown: indent (by 2 spaces or more, in HN's syntax; Markdown calls for 4 or more, so they're compatible).

  print("Hello, world.")

Thanks for the report and the update! I'd love to hear about what you changed — how can I get in touch? I didn't see anything in your HN profile. Feel free to email me at [email protected]
