Diploi Changelog: Browser IDE & Quick Trials

Hi everyone, we've been quiet here for a month, but not idle.

First, a Big thank you 🙏 to everyone who has participated in our pilots. It means the world to us and the feedback is invaluable.

Now, on to the news 📰 ...

1) Browser IDE

Previously, development using Diploi was done using the Remote Development feature of (mostly) VS Code, so users connected using ssh and edited in their local VS Code. This feature is great, and still available in all of our templates.

But from this week on there is another option: Developing directly in the browser using a version of VS Code (a little like GitHub Codespaces). It's simple, you just click a button to open the editor. Almost all extensions work. This is great for quick edits, but I find you quickly forget it is in the browser so it is not only for minor work IMO.

2) Quick Trials

People are so busy nowadays, we know that. That's why we created a way of trying out Diploi in only two clicks. No registration, no configuration, and with the Browser IDE you can start coding in the browser in no time. You get a full environment with database and everything to play with. If you like it you can claim the account with your GitHub account and continue working. Check it out 🙌. It's a perfect way to try out our templates.

Thank you for your time. We'll be back with more news soon.
