Ask HN: Any tips for building a VSCode fork?

5 pointsstuckinaloop1y ago3 comments

Hey HN! I'm working on a VSCode fork to work and develop on iOS apps. I'm curious if anyone out here has any experience with building a VSCode fork and has any tips that they'd like to share.

Any and all help is appreciated!

Why? It seems like a lot of effort if you need to dev on an iOS device use the Cloud9 equivalent of your choice

I'm not trying to develop on iOS devices, rather I'm trying to create an alternative to XCode like AppCode (was)

You can look at this fork: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium and see how they did it.
