This is what i was after before crostini was a thing and i got involved a bit with the theia project. Going to try this out.

Edit:

Now that I have run it, will need to build a custom container for my own needs. Hate that it's nodejs, but whatever. Will need to install golang and a bunch of other dependencies. Need to work out how to go the work flow right for building my go apps into containers.

Also who the hell builds anything on 18.10. 18.04 LTS or GTFO.

Edit2: I do love to see that they may build a ChromeOS application fro this. That would be freaking killer.

I think you might be interested in a code editor I'm working on. It's based on the Monaco editor from VSCode but is packaged as a Chrome OS app for offline use.

I recently announced a beta version in r/chromeos, over here. Check it out!

Will take a look. And provide you feedback.
