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

Persist Environment Settings Across Sessions
If you customize your panels, themes, fonts, colors, and other settings, we want to ensure your customizations are persisted the next time you access Project IDX.

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.
67 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.

Preview Display For Non-Web Applications
To be able to show an application running on the Project IDX VM, for example I use c++ and it would be cool to be able to see the applications that I am compiling and building.

Laggy and Less Touch Responsive Online Android Emulator
The current online Android emulator is experiencing significant lag and lacks touch responsiveness, impacting the user experience negatively. This hinders developers' ability to efficiently test and debug their Android applications in a simulated environment.

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.

Monorepo support
Hello, Just discovering IDX, very exciting product!
I just set up a repo that is a monorepo, with /backend with a Nest.js server, and a /frontend with an Angular app.Is it possible to:
- Have both running, port 3000 and 8080, and allow each to communicate with each other?
- Set up monospace.json and specifyworking_directoryfor each project listed?For the moment, should the monospace.json file live in the root of the repo, or nested at the root of each project?

Enable to "Change Display Language" to Japanese, that MS VS Code could easily do it .
I know MS VS Code has the Japanese locale extension, however it's mandatory for the people not familiar with all English editors, also not familiar with the families of VS Code, OSS Dev, etc.
I'm both of them. Only such factor can make the people avoid the IDE of Project IDX.
Critical: Why IDX, Code OSS, cannot change Display Japanese Display For me, I'm not familiar with MS VS CODE the families Enable to Change "Display Language", Japanese for me, that VS CODE can realize very easily

So I can take it on a plane and keep working.

support renaming workspaces
When I started my workspace I had only thought of one use case but then the scope evolved and my original workspace name no longer reflects what my workspace does. I tried "Save workspace as..." but it didn't change the folder name and it didn't permanently change the workspace name the next time I loaded the workspace.

A UI for the dev.nix file
I believe that for IDX to go forward, you somehow need to create a UI for the dev.nix file, so that I can assemble the desired components, many people do not know nix or are familiar with it. I could, for example, choose if I want Angular, and which version of it, which version of the node I would use, so that I can build the desired model, but without using nix codes.

Separate idx/dev.nix into a flake.nix and a simpler idx config file.
For experienced nix users, the
channelandpackagesparameters overlap with flakes enough that there's no need to wrap them up in a bespoke DSL. If a project already has a flake.nix that includes a devShell, it's not clear how this should be wired up.For inexperienced nix users, being forced to learn Nix to edit the idx-specific entry seems unnecessary.
