An idea for a website:
A page where you paste a github url and it clones the repository on the server and presents it to you with a IDE interface, lets you apply little changes and build it.
A "development environment as a service", in few words. Seriously, browsing github files is a pain and I can't obviously clone all the interesting projects I want to explore!

    I didn't mean an online IDE, but an online playground for github! Which (supposedly) the interface of an IDE. Why? IDEs are easy to navigate. Github is not.

    Sounds like a mix of docker hub and heroku to me. The most difficult thing here will be providing the infrastructure and making every developer choose the same build system(s) (to let the site built the program)

    Gitlab does do a Web Ide, where they allow you to change multiple files, with decent syntax highlighting etc (no autocomplete though) and commit multiple files at once

    This sounds interesting. An auto fork and pull request feature would be awesome. And not only for GitHub, but all kinds of git repositories. Hm. Maybe if I find some time, I will start working on something like this - I really love the idea 🤔

    @jackconnorhull thank you for appreciating it. I wanted to build it but unluckily I don't have the skills (currently) and I have already too many started projects. Tell us if you will come up with something
