  1. 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.

  3. 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

  7. It would've been great to be able to preview the apps on Android and iOS emulators straight from the UI without rebuilding the whole environment.

    And generally, if that is possible with NIX, an option to change settings like aspect ratio etc.

  8. 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. Add a nix file that is global and unique to a particular account which includes packages that a developer wants/needs in every workspace.

    For example, neovim and its associated config is something I would want to use in every workspace, but other developers may not want that OR they may have an entirely different neovim config they want to use, making the dev.nix inside workspaces impractical.

    While it is possible to manually edit every dev.nix with associated packages for each project. This, however, is inconvenient at best, and problematic at worst, especially if developers are collaborating on a repo and…

  13. Currently, "Import a repo" (when creating a new workspace) only works for cloning an entire repo.

    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.

  14. It would be totally awesome if you could use a real device to debug your apps in Flutter. I know it might be impossible, at least for IOS since compilation occurs in an insolated virtual container that is not linked in anyway to your device. However in Android it might be more feasible, since Android it's more flexible with security. This would make Flutter development accessible to anyone, I would totally switch my macbook for this.

  17. 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…

  19. It would be great to support RoR framework and ruby language and have a template for quickly building cloud ready applications in RoR. Also it would be great if you have other extra add-ons to that project template.
    For ex. Ror with vue integration, scss integration etc

  20. 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:
