This is a cool project! However maybe we should just be on a break when on a coffee break?
I saw it as tool to monitor long running executions.
hehe, yeah, sometimes you should and sometimes you end up being a character like in the xkcd comic.
Just in case someone finds this - I had to rename and move the project to aircodum.com as an entity called 'codeair.in' tried to harass me, claiming they had a TradeMark (they really didnot) and I wanted to avoid drama.
This sounds like it would give our InfoSec team heart palpitations over the potential data leaks and new attack vectors.
I am curious to hear more. Everything happens over local network, so unless the network is compromised, it shouldn't cause too much trouble? I am advising users against using this over something like airport wifi or something.
Are you going to release the source? As the github only has a Readme currently?
Thanks purple-leafy, I do share some similar concerns. There was only a recent case where a popular open source project was cloned and turned into a startup.
I am offering the Android app and extension for free. I'll be open sourcing the extension soon. I am hesitant to open source the Android app until I also get the iOS version out.
You people have issues reading? I just asked if you are going to as you have a repository. If you do not that's fine. jeeze.
sorry if my answer came off the wrong way, I just meant, yes I'll be releasing the source code for the VS Code extension.
I open sourced the extension code.
Why should they?
Because this has deep integration with potentially sensitive data?
Then don’t use it lol, they are under no obligation to share their code for someone else to steal
bad take. there is no point in posting it if we don't know if its safe to use. The world doesn't work on the "Trust me bro principle."
Okay fair enough. But as a developer it grinds my gears when I work hard on something and like a moth to flame I get asked to open source it (so others can copy my hard work)
It was a question. And the read me has a contributing section, so it's pretty logical to assume so. It is also incredibly niche as author says themselves; usually that means the more the better.
Amazing job! I'm really looking forward to diving into the source code when (or if) you release it. Curious—are you using WebSockets or any other technology for real-time updates?
thank you! I'll release the code for the VSC Extension soon.
If the thing you are waiting for is a command you can alternatively invoke your command as
command && beep
Thank you, this is a TIL!!
Nice! I'm using AnyDesk for both desktop and phone, and then can completely control my computer from my phone, not only vs code. Also for watching long processes.
anydesk etc. are good, but this app does a little more than monitoring. It's like a cross between anydesk use case and airdrop (like you can send files and images etc to your wokspace). And everything happens over your local network.
anydesk relies on a relay/third-party. this seems more like a direct connection (needs something like tailscale for remote access)
fine idea but looks like you forgot to push the source up to your github repo.
Thank you for checking on things, I am working on open sourcing the extension part of the project which should be available soon!
TIL 3d.xkcd.com exists.
I love HN for these moments - when you learn things that are orthogonal to the original post.

Eagerly waiting for the iOS app.
Thank you, I am working on it!
please, publish to openvsx.
phone app still has template code left in; react native?
Thank you so much for pointing these out! Yes, it's react native. And thanks to your comment, I am also working on getting my account setup on open vsx
