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.
124 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!

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

Let you connect to Figma for visual designs
You could connect to Figma designs, then help generate components with correct styling. It would also be great to leverage something like Tailwind for styling.

work locally
I wish that Project IDX would be able to work locally as well as in the browser.
So I can take it on a plane and keep working.

Make it easier to see Next.js dev server output.
It took me a long time to find the dev server output (in Output under IDX). It would be nice if it was easier to find.

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.

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…

devtools
I think it will be a good idea to add additional tabs at the terminal level for devtools of the webviewer.

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.

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.
