1. 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 straightforward access to the local filesystem across various platforms, streamlining the development process within Project IDX.

   Reference: A comparable feature has garnered community support in similar platforms, underscoring the demand for such integration. Please see https://github.com/coder/code-server/issues/4710 for more details.

2. 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.

7. Enable IDX to work on GitLab.com Repos

   I am working on GitLab.com with all of my Projects and Repos. I use heavily GitLab CI for my builds there. Please make it possible to work on a GitLab.com Public and Private repo.
   The best thing would of course be also to have the possibility to have Self Managed GitLab repos in Google IDX.

9. Podman support (with systemd)

   Please add OOTB support for running containers using Podman, with the possibility to use containers that utilize systemd

   ---

   While adding

     packages = [
       pkgs.podman
     ];
   

   podman will not run. Some of the issues might be related to the nix package, but some are related to the environment.

   The default policy is missing and no /var/tmp. Had to fix this as follows:

         onCreate = {
           # this is to fix Podman: https://github.com/gbraad-devenv/idx/issues/3
           setup-podman = ''
             mkdir /etc/containers/
             cat >> /etc/containers/policy.json <<EOF
             { "default" : [ { "type": "insecureAcceptAnything"} ]}
             EOF
             mkdir /var/tmp
           '';
         };
   

   After these minor changes, podman can at least run.
   https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/370543478

   But containers that use systemd, seem to be failing.

10. 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:

15. Implementation of a Default Workshop Configuration Feature

    Introduction
    In the current software development landscape, efficiency and productivity are critical success factors for projects. Google’s IDX Project already offers a robust infrastructure; however, introducing a new feature that enables the configuration of a "default workshop" could revolutionize how developers interact with the platform. This proposal aims to simplify and optimize the process of creating and importing projects, ensuring that relevant extensions and themes are automatically applied.

    Proposal
    The proposal consists of allowing users to configure a default workshop that includes a predefined selection of extensions and themes. When creating or importing new projects, this configuration will be automatically applied, eliminating the need for repetitive manual installations. For instance, if a developer frequently uses a specific extension or a set of tools for a particular system, this feature will enable them to configure it once, thus optimizing their workflow.

    Benefits
    ▸ Increased Productivity: Automating workshop configuration will reduce the time spent on repetitive tasks, allowing developers to focus on more critical activities.
    ▸ Consistency: Standardizing development environments will ensure that all projects follow a common line, facilitating collaboration among teams.
    ▸ Ease of Use: New users will benefit from a pre-configured environment, helping them become familiar with the platform more quickly.

    Conclusion
    Implementing a default workshop configuration feature in the IDX Project will not only enhance developer efficiency but also foster a culture of collaboration and consistency. Considering the fast-paced nature of the tech industry, this improvement aligns with the current needs of developers and will contribute to IDX Project's standing as a leading tool in the market.

16. installing with "pip" should be seamless

    right now, installing python packages using pip not natively supported as it results in altering the default file system outlined by idx. pip is essential if something is providing Python support by default.

    I know I can find a workaround using nix and vice versa still installing a package using pip shouldn't be this hard. Because it is extremely fundamental. Also, Google's choice to keep Python 3.10.X and 3.11.X a bad idea. Since I use some legacy libraries that uses 3.8.X and I am happy with that. the support should include older Python versions or a way to install custom Python version for working with legacy codebase and libraries.
