I think they only look similar but are completely different. OP's app runs a full-featured vscode (not creating a new editor) and supposedly has access to all vscode's marketplace extensions.

Indeed that's worth remembering but iOS eco-system is as always more scoped/limited. And code.app really integrates well with Apple's limitations.

+1 to Code App. The developer has been super responsive to bugs. So far the app is the best IDE offering on iPad imho.

Another consideration about Code.app: - it's open sourced - developer is super responsive

something like this but using the ssh remoting feature would be killer for me.

You can actually edit remote files via SSH in the TestFlight build, and get a remote terminal to boot. Quite handy, although I can’t seem to be able to display two files side by side inside the app.

We will make this happen.
