vCode IDE is currently in alpha and is not ready for production use. This is an early access version intended for testing and feedback. Expect frequent updates and potential breaking changes.
This project was built in just 72 hours, so expect some rough edges. There is currently a known issue with
node-pty
in production builds. For the best experience, please run the IDE locally by cloning the repository and usingnpm run start
. Update: production builds should work now, but are quite large (1 GB+). Will fix it once the software is stable.
