Recode – Remote development environments defined as code

Hacker News

Hey HN, As most of you (I think?), I cannot learn something without having a project, on the side, to implement what I’ve just learned. Recode is the project that I've used to learn Go. It lets you create a development environment in your cloud provider account easily. You can think of it as a desktop version of Gitpod / Coder / GitHub Codespaces less polished and with less features but 100% free and open-source. At the time of writing, it only works with Visual Studio Code and AWS. In order to let you configure your development environments easily, I’ve chosen to use Docker with some Dockerfiles: - One for your user configuration. - One for your project. The user configuration corresponds to the tools / settings that you use in all your projects like your timezone / locale, your preferred shell or your dotfiles. The project configuration corresponds to the tools / settings that you use in a specific project like Go >= 1.18 and Node.js >= 14. As you may have guessed, the project configuration inherits from the user one. This project is 100% community-driven, meaning that except for bug fixes no more features will be added. The only features that will be added are the ones that will be posted as an issue and that will receive a significant amount of upvotes (>= 10 currently).
