Desktop App
IDX Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux), either:
- Electron / Tauri wrapper
- Or React Native desktop app
For better avoidance of browser keyboard shortcuts / better native + OS integration
I'm a big supporter of web standards, but running an editor in a browser tab or even as a desktop PWA is often lacking / janky (judging based on the VS Code editor on github.dev)
Alternative Considered: PWA
If you manage to achieve parity by fixing the UX problems and integrating natively, making it work without downsides, I'll be on board with running IDX as a PWA!

Public HTTP frontend and backend previews
Its very hard to give access to one person at a time to look at a frontend project, so instead of doing all that, why not add a "make app public" option? so that other people can access it and I can easily preview my next js apps with a simple command: 'npm run dev' and then share the localhost link to others to show them previews

UI/UX design tool
It would be great if there was a design tool similar to Figma so that we could convert our design into code and integrate it with the help of Gemini.

Mobile optimization
To enhance the user experience on mobile devices, the "Full Screen" feature in the "Customize Layout" settings in IDX should be automatically enabled. This setting ensures that the editor screen adjusts to fit various mobile screen sizes when enabled.

IDX UI templates
IDX is very nice and well built. Are the themes and components that IDX use available for use in applications?
It would be nice to have a designer to drag and drop Angular components from a palette and have it automagically generate the components. It would also make sense to allow us to use our own components in the palette.
Also along these lines, it would be nice if such a designer would allow you to connect @Input and @Output between elements and other services through an interface resembling a "patchbay" in the audio recording software world. So you could…

Support Multiple Projects/Folders
You may have separate projects (with their own build process, etc.) that you still want to see and control from inside the same workspace. This type of project structure is one we want to better support.
74 votesWe are actively discussing how to best address this. Stay tuned for some updates here.
In the interim, please comment on what kind of project(s) you are working in what other tools you have found that do a good job here.

Keep Edit History on Reload
Ensure that edit history is retained when the network reconnects or the browser reloads. Accidental history loss can hamper development efficiency, so retaining history on reload would greatly improve dev UX.

Merge Projects
It would be nice to merge projects. I am building a spring boot, postgres, and angular project but I used the template for angular, spring boot, and postgres and now I have three projects I would like to merge. I know I can dig into the nix file and do it manually, but wouldn't it be nice to merge them with a single click?

A Watery, or Electric Storm Background Theme
As the current trend for dark Theme has really taken off, except with a lot of YouTubers apparently. I thought a moving background would be an amazing next generation move. There's been not much custom control generated, and like in a browser one can have some pretty cool backgrounds, or with 3-D graphs and such. I, for one, would enjoy a pleasant small ripple/wave effect, if nothing more than to help the aesthetic, I believe it would also be relaxing and somewhat soothing.

Maven dependency in quick fix
I would like the option to insert maven dependencies into the pom.xml when an import is not able to be resolved. I'm sure you could also extend this beyond java.
I enjoy the quick fix feature, but the only thing it doesn't really fix is dependencies.
It shouldn't be too hard to pull up a maven central search and have it automagically grab the <dependency> and put it in the pom.

Linea Vertical visualmente molesta
En un proyecto de flutter, se muestra una linea vertical en el medio del editor de texto, la cual resulta visualmente molesta y no consigo forma de ocultarla. Tengo entendido que es una linea para ayudar a mantener el texto organizado al funcionar como una guia, pero seria bueno poder ocultarla o modificarla.
