I'm pretty excited about what Codespaces is going to bring to the table. I can already see a lot of good use cases.

I've been using an iPad Pro as a laptop replacement for the past year and Codespaces makes it a pretty viable development machine. I'd been mulling over switching back to a laptop, but I'll probably stick to the iPad for now.

Before I was using Blink shell to ssh into my desktop and run Emacs. Not really ideal for me since I mainly use VS Code on my desktop (which is my main computer) and hardly touch Emacs anymore.

do you use codespaces in safari? doesn't work that well for me, scroll using a touchpad doesn't work, and I guess not having a real fullscreen mode is kinda annoying too

AFAIK This is a bug that was introduced earlier this year when WebKit changed how scroll events are handled https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/1455

If you can add a shortcut to the dev environment to your homescreen it’ll load the app without safaris control elements which comes relatively close to fullscreen. (Not sure if this will work the way codespaces is built)

FYI, gitpod.io is similar and works pretty well on Safari and iPad
