My experiences with Project IDX

Hi friends.

I’m going to share my opinion about Project IDX from Google.

Project IDX graphics are really good. Their scope was strange and good. For web software; Simple HTML, React, Vue, Angular, Svelte could be used.

But I can say that it is bad that only Flutter is used in the Mobile section. It would be very good if React-Native was also available.

In the backend section; Python Flask, Node Express, Go and Rust were allowed to be used.

I have to say this about performance: The project is created and the environment variables are integrated and the project opens. But the problem is that Intellisense doesn’t work immediately and it takes a long time to integrate.

And when it works on the web for example, there is a reload problem. Even though it refreshes instantly, reloading is a really crucial point. Because when it refreshes, it takes a long time to load the page.

Also, when we first create the project, the screen in front of us is a white screen. This is also really bad.

Also, when you refresh the tab in the working environment, you go back to the moment when you first created the project. And not only that, it’s the same when you re-enter the project.

You can add plugins as you want, you can change the theme and icon. You can also make setting changes as you want. This subject is also excellent.

IDX settings are simple. It is also integrated with Firebase. It comes automatically.

Also integrated with Github. It’s a very nice editor.

And also IDX has its own Artificial Intelligence. But the Github Copilot plugin is unfortunately not available in extensions, for now.

But this editor should be improved. It will be better if it is improved. Also, if performance problems are solved and new things are added, it will be delicious.
