This is fabulous. I remember something similar 2 or 3 years ago where you could "log in with github" and create commits using VS Code in the browser. Does anyone remember the name? Is it still alive? Iirc it was a very simple name like "code.org" (but not that).
You're thinking of coder.com.
I think it has changed a bit and it's not as easy to get started with their service, but you can still host the server yourself:

> No. Coder Enterprise is not SaaS. It is software that you must deploy and run it on your own infrastructure, either a public or private cloud.
That's unfortunate. Very excited to see a SaaS solution by someone soon.
