So for the last two years, I've been using Replit for all my Python projects. This is because you can code on it and host your website at the same...

You can use both VSC and Replit. That's what I do. I put all of my code on GH. If I don't want people to see it, I use a private repo.
Also, you could use this extension to connect to your repls - marketplace.visualstudio.com/items...
And if you join the GH Codespaces you can create a VSC instance on the web to code in. If you've enabled Settings Sync, it will automatically install your extensions, settings and themes to be what you use in the app.

To be honest, I prefer VSC over Replit. Both are really good, but Replit isn't quite good enough for my needs as it's not very customisable and it's slow. And as you mentioned, the GH integration is awful.
Returning to this a few months later, I completely disagree with my statement. I now prefer Replit over VSC. Sure, VSC still does some things better, but Replit is really improving and it is so much more convenient and it doesn't eat up RAM like VSC does.
Think differently now after the new changes?
A little. Replit's IDE is improving and is more convenient though. Although I don't agree or like all of the recent changes, I'm in quite a few betas and I'm trying to be optimistic for the future! I'll have a post coming out soon about my thoughts on the state of Replit.
Ah okay, looking forward to the post!
👋 @vulcanwm @dillonb07 This is Xiaoyi, Engineer from Replit.
@vulcanwm Excellent review! I'm a user of both Replit and VS Code, so I can tell this is a great comparison. Thanks for mentioning the issue you have with GH. The team is aware of it and will improve on it. Keep having fun building!
@dillonb07 Thanks for the feedback! This is really valuable for us to understand how to make Replit better for you. We are actively working on extensibility and making Replit faster. I'm curious what customizations you wanted, and which part of Replit felt slow to you - was it loading the website, navigating between the files, editing or console/shell?
This is a weird comparation, VSCode is just an IDE and Replit is a hosting service with an integrated IDE.
But both have flaws
Ye, anyways if you want a hosting service you can use like mogenius, Railway, Heroku or Vercel, they're more focused in Hosting and do not provide an IDE but an easy CI.
yea thanks, I'm trying Vercel out right now (I found Heroku a bit hard)
I don't think Vercel will work with Flask. It's for JavaScript frameworks.
ah, thanks for letting me know
Personally I do my development process locally with VSCode, then build and push to GitHub. After that, I deploy from Vercel or Replit.
that's what i do these days!
