Using an IDE outside of Anvil website is something would make Anvil more usable and flexible.
VSCode is one of the most common ide when it comes to smaller teams or individual programmers, typically anvil’s users group.
Anvil let you create and run your code outside of Anvil, running a code on your server via uplink. Most cases I use VSCode to manage those code, but I’m missing a proper integration.
Just like Arduino development let you work in the cloud (same like Anvil), it also has a plugin for VSCode so people can work offline using their favourite IDE.
Having a plugin within VSCode could add the required dependencies, intellisense etc., while it would benefit from VSCode features:
- rich editor features
- debuging features
- offline coding
