Gitpod is an online platform that makes it easy to clone and run code from online code repositories like GitHub and Gitlab. It’s essentially VS Code in the browser, running on a temporary server called a workspace, which you can use for development. This guide will cover how to use Gitpod ...

I guess not a lot of people know what gitpod is, so I'll elaborate as their website is terrible at doing that. Basically, Gitpod offers environments that you can spin up and access on a web browser. These environments come equipped with the ability to run CLI apps alongside a pretty full featured VS code. In English, this means that I was able to build a vue application from start to finish on my iPad. There were a few tiny bugs related to scrolling and stuff that they are working on a fix for, but generally it was very pleasant and I did not feel like I was "gimping" myself. On the contrary, swapping between all of the various PCs/Macs and so on that I find myself on over the course of a month was very easy. It's free to start and you can pay a very modest subscription later if you want to use it a lot more. Honestly speaking, I think once this model of work is much more smooth it will be the future. No longer will I need to worry about upgrading my laptop so that I can code on the latest and greatest hardware. I'm honestly considering selling my laptop in favour of just having an iPad and a desktop because my laptop is collecting dust, and the keyboard cases for ipads are pretty sick though expensiveish pending on which one you buy ($50 -> $350). All in all, I would definitely recommend giving gitpod a go. It's very good and it can only get better. It's just not a smooth experience if you are working on something that isn't a main branch of Chrome or Firefox (They state this on the login). Big thumbs up. Edit: Also, to save you some trouble, here's how you "use it". 0. Make sure you have your github account linked to gitpod. Create a github repository (I believe other hosts are supported too, but don't quote me on that). Go to gitpod.io# Watch it spin up an environment for you to code in. t You can add your own extensions or search for ones that were added before. You can also just go to here: https://www.gitpod.io/#get-started and try out an environment with a sample project. More on reddit.com

This looks so damn cool, can't wait to fire it up.
