code-server

code-server is VS Code running on a remote server, accessible through the browser.

• Code on your Chromebook, tablet, and laptop with a consistent dev environment.
  • If you have a Windows or Mac workstation, more easily develop for Linux.
• Take advantage of large cloud servers to speed up tests, compilations, downloads, and more.
• Preserve battery life when you're on the go.
  • All intensive computation is ran on your server.
  • You're no longer running excess instances of Chrome.
