Why not use vscode remote via ssh port forwarding? I just use it via my browser.

I tried but hackernews dedupes submissions for posts. The original poster barely got attention with this source:

The cryptography privacy pass is based off [1] actually comes from Ecash[2] so we’ve gone full circle.

Howdy friends,
Ben here, one of the co-chairs for the WebView CG. Super chuffed to see this pop up on hackernews today!
For a little context, our group is currently focusing our efforts this year on improving WebView compatibility data. The project is still very young and we’ll keep chipping away at it but please feel free to reach out and engage! You can find the repository here: https://github.com/WebView-CG/Compatibility-Data-Project/tre...
If you’re interested in joining in on the broader community discussions, you can find our group here: https://www.w3.org/community/webview/
I’m currently working hard at keeping a new born alive but will be happy to answer any questions if I can a moment between diapers :)

Looks super cool! Clearly an idea that people want - I built something similar to this almost two year ago [1] but your project is a lot more fleshed out. I like that you actually used websockets instead of my hacky approach of using an http stream.

Proposal author here
I’m hoping to get back to everyone as soon as possible. I hope you can all appreciate that I’m a human being and this has been a lot!
In the mean time, I wanted to repost my last comment on the GitHub issue thread [1]:
Hey all, we plan to respond to your feedback but I want to be thorough which will take time and it’s the end of a Friday for me. We wanted to give a quick TL;DR:
- This is an early proposal that is subject to change based on feedback.
- The primary goal is to combat user tracking by giving websites a way to maintain anti-abuse protections for their sites without resorting to invasive fingerprinting.
- It’s also an explicit goal to ensure that user agents can browse the web without this proposal [2]
- The proposal doesn’t involve detecting or blocking extensions, so ad-blockers and accessibility tools are out of scope.
- This is not DRM - WEI does not lock down content
- I’m giving everyone a heads up that I’m limiting comments to contributors over the weekend so that I can try to take a breath away from GitHub. I will reopen them after the weekend

I’m not sure it’s fair if the product ends up making a boat loads of money. Games are high risk but a very lucrative industry.
Just look at how successful football players were in getting a slice of the pie. I’d still consider that a dream job.

This is going to be the year I improve at climbing. I absolutely love the hobby and have done it on and off for years.
I’m at the age demographic where I see a lot of folk feeding into the hustle culture. While I think it’s important to keep the future in mind, I also want to recognise I’ve reached a pretty good point in my life and would like to do something that won’t improve my career in any way.
