GitHub Codespaces vs. Local IDE: Are you moving your dev setup to the cloud?
by•
More and more developers are moving from heavy local setups to cloud-hosted environments like GitHub Codespaces, Coder/code-server, or Gitpod.
The advantages are clear: standardized team environments, instant container spin-ups, and the ability to access your exact workspace from any device (even an iPad). But local dev still reigns supreme for offline work and raw latency.
We're building Vysio (https://vysio.app), a native iPad client for cloud IDEs, to make remote development seamless on tablet (Ipad for now).
I'd love to hear from this community:
Do you use cloud IDEs (Codespaces/Gitpod/code-server) for daily work or side projects?
What is still stopping you from switching to cloud development full-time?
