What do you mean? VSC is just an IDE. You can't use it as a website host.

Use a service like Replit, Vercel, Netlify or Heroku for hosting.

So is there a way I can integrate VSC with a website host?

Probably. Never tried. I just put my project on GH and then manually do it when I'm done. It only takes a few minutes. For Flask projects, I'd recommend using GH to sync it to Replit. You'd have to go in your repl and pull the changes though. Or connect to the terminal remotely.

What if I want my code to remain secret?

If you don't have Hacker, you'd have to use a different host. I don't really use Flask anymore, so I'm not sure what the best option is.

I've heard that Heroku is decent for Flask. You can use the CLI for that meaning you don't need to share your code. From experience though, Heroku isn't the easiest to use.

Thanks for the help!
I'm checking out Heroku right now.
It's actually pretty good as it can use private repos for the code, but it's hard to use as you said.
What are you working on now then?

Currently, I'm making a new portfolio using Next.js/React

What about you?
