We need support for native mobile development for Android and ios
We need support for native mobile development for Android and ios (java, kotlin, Swift, C++)
269 votesAs many of you may have seen from our I/O Connect announcements, we are actively working on having Android Studio work on IDX. Here is a teaser video: https://x.com/kirupa/status/1813693281039212735
Please join the waitlist to be among the first to try out this experience once we make it available for early testing: https://idx.google.com/android-studio

Add Gitlab and Bitbucket Support
Please add gitlab and other git public services support.
232 votesWe now have Gitlab and Bitbucket support. Watch our release video for more details! 🔥
There are a few more fit-and-finish changes we'll be making, so stay tuned for more updates.

React Native implementation
It would be good to implement templates since it is another alternative to flutter. It would also be good to implement .idx/dev.nix to be automatically loaded when cloning a git repository
210 votesWe have an experimental version of this in IDX now. You access it via the Mobile category or going directly to here: https://idx.google.com/new/react-native

Local file system access
Introduce the capability to browse and open local filesystem directories, as available in vscode.dev, where users can open directories and not just individual files, directly from the browser interface.
Current behavior in vscode.dev: Users can interact with the local filesystem through the browser, opening folders and files as if working locally, without uploading content to the server, which effectively bridges local and cloud development environments.
Impact: Implementing this would reduce context-switching and improve user experience by providing a seamless development workflow that integrates local and cloud-based resources.
Technical Suggestion: Adopt a File System Access API strategy to enable secure and…

Connect to IDX from SSH, IDX VSCode Extension, or some other way
I want to connect to IDX from something other than the browser. Ideally, this could be my local VSCode instance or it could be over SSH from a terminal running neovim. I would like the power of a cloud workstation from my favorite environments.

Copy and paste across projects
It will be great if we could copy a file from one project and paste it in a different project (in another tab)

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.
131 votesAs part of our recently released preview of our Nix extensibility work, we persist all changes in your home directory. We are exploring additional ways of being able to persist changes between VM sessions.

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!

Request for Flutter Support with iOS Simulator in IDX
Please include support for the iOS simulator within IDX for Flutter projects. This addition would greatly simplify the process of testing and debugging iOS apps directly within IDX, eliminating the need for external tools or complex setups. If iOS support is disabled, kindly provide a reason for the decision. Thank you for considering this request.

Can we have the Live Share Extension on IDX
I've been teaching students using IDX these days, more or less for fun and also to test how well the IDX AI performs w.r.t React.js. A feature that I use sometimes on the local machine is Live Share extension.
A brief description of the extension -
The Live Share Extension on VSCode enables other dev to work on the same instance of VSCode on multiple files, which is extremely useful when creating small scale projects.
I understand that it is developed by a different company (Microsoft) but it will be helpful specifically for teaching purposes.
There can be an alternative…104 votes -

Automatic intelligent code checking
Automatic intelligent code checking. On the example of Quokka (plugin for VSCode) only that it would be interactive and automatically prompt you. For example, if you have an error in some place, it will highlight it and can solve it yourself or will describe why it happens.

Enable import GitHub repo specific directory
Currently, "Import a repo" (when creating a new workspace) only works for cloning an entire repo.
- ✅ https://github.com/my-username/my-project (valid)
- ❌https://github.com/my-username/my-project/tree/main/examples/blog (not valid)
The ability to import a specific directory/path from a repo would be helpful, since many web frameworks have official examples in directories in a single repo.
Example:
- https://github.com/withastro/astro/tree/main/examples (Astro)
- https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples (Next.js)Other online IDEs support this ability, such as Stackblitz, CodeSandbox.

Support for Java
Project IDX should support Java due to its versatility and widespread use in developing various applications across different domains, from web development to mobile applications.
90 votesWe have released a preview version of our Java support for you all to try out! :-)

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.
77 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.

Do not require third-party cookies
A service released in 2023 should not require third-party cookies to be allowed.
If not for the privacy and usability for its users, then for the project itself, since many browsers are phasing out support for third-party cookies. Firefox already blocks them and chrome will soon do the same:

Support SSH Session for Remote CLI
Intergrated terminal lacks functionality\ies of a local terminal. Can we add support for its SSH session? Maybe a documentation on how to do that would be helpful :)

Raise the number of workspaces limit
Hey Project IDX team,
I don't want to have a limit of 2 workspaces in project IDX. Can you lift the limit of two workspaces to maybe 50-100? I want to draft a lot of flutter, angular, and react projects in project IDX. Thanks.

Working together
I think it would be so much better if we can see who is online in the project, where is their cursor, and what are their working in. Like in google docs. So we can collaborating making a project simulteneously. No need to worry about the commit and conflict.
