TL;DR - Coder.com allows you to code in VSCode (and, coming soon, Github's Atom editor) within your browser. You have up to 16gb RAM and 96 cores at your disposal.

Coder allows you to run VSCode on a remote server and access it via your browser - it's a professional IDE on the web.
Anything VSCode can do, Coder can (theoretically) do. And more!
It has Collaboration, a Linux environment, and the free plan gives you 1 hour a day (max 5 hours a month) of "Fast time", which gives you 16GB of RAM and 96 server cores! That is an insane amount, but don't get too carried away - cores are no use if your application can't make use of them. I feel that Fast time is best used for temporary bursts, to get an installation or Git repo initialisation done quickly.
I really, really like coder.com - it allows me to use my favourite editor on most computers for free, without installing a single byte. Just log in and go! The plans are also nice and cheap ($4.99, $9.99 and $14.99). However, it is in alpha, so this could all change in future. We'll have to wait and see.
What about you? What do you think?
