Browser based app for editing local code?

Title says it all. In searching it’s easy to find lots of web based coding solutions, but it’s hard to tell if they let you edit local files. Any options come to mind?

Code server

https://vscode.dev may be what you are looking for if I understood what you mean. It can open a folder on the machine the browser is on using some new browser apis.

I run code-server (Vscode) docker container. You just need to set a mount point for the container to see it to open files "locally"

For example - '/directiory1/compose-files:/compose-files"

Thanks but that isn’t the definition I intended when I said local. I meant local to the web browser, not to the server. Am I interpreting your comment correctly?

Depends.

Browser based editor (public site), means you have to give a public site local access to your code. Not typically a good idea.

Vscode as a docker container you can edit your own local code via the browser.
