Is it actually a modified version of VScode (As sourcegraph does) or are you just using the Monaco editor? As some mentioned in other comments i would also be insterested in running vscode frontend in the browser while havinf the backend in a VPS. Thanks and congrats on the project it's great!
Yes, that's one use case (desktop/web interop) where using something Electron.JS might actually make sense (to the extreme detriment of battery life, memory usage, and CPU usage).
