Hey Product Hunt 👋 - Very excited to showcase DevPod on PH 😸 today!
DevPod is like Codespaces but open-source, client-only and platform/cloud independent.

Compared to hosted services such as Github Codespaces, JetBrains Spaces, or Google Cloud Workstations, DevPod has the following advantages:
✅ Open Source: DevPod is 100% open-source and extensible. A provider doesn’t exist? Just create your own. Since we put the project on GitHub a few weeks ago, 5 smaller cloud providers have already contributed their own providers which was super exciting to see!
🖥 Client-only: No need to install a server backend. DevPod runs solely on your computer.
🌈 Cross IDE support: VS Code and the full JetBrains suite is supported. Other IDEs can be connected through ssh.
😻 Rich feature set: DevPod already supports prebuilds, auto inactivity shutdown, git & docker credentials sync, with many more features to come.
I've gotten tons of good feedback from folks here in the past for other OSS projects, so I'm hoping to get some thoughts on this new project today.
❓❓❓ What do you think?
Open for any feedback - even if you think DevPod sucks, let me know.
