What is Eclipse Theia?
With Theia you can develop one IDE and run it in browsers or native desktop application from a single source. Theia is designed in a modular way to allow extenders and adopters customizing and extending every aspect of it. Composing a custom IDE-like product is as easy as listing all needed extensions in a package.json file. Adding new functionality by implementing your own extensions is easy, too and provides all the flexibility you need.
Unlike other "open-source" projects, projects like Theia that are hosted at an Open-Source Foundation are protected against single-vendor decisions against the interest of the diverse community.








Comments and Reviews
visual code on your server
It's very slow compare to vscode and vscodium.
Open source Visual studio code
It uses components of VS Code, but it is not a clone or a fork, rather a parallel development, more open and modular, that adopts some of its components.
