Servediter for code-server Reviews

The current version is unmatched with magic keyboard, many bugs occurred while I using magic keyboard, with Bluetooth keyboard everything is fine, pls add support to magic keyboard

Works as described, and provides a standalone app for using code-server on an iPad. Offers paid code-server hosting, and is free if you host your own code-server.

Running a code-server client as a standalone app provides several benefits over running it in a browser tab on your device. This is now an important part of my new ultra-portable dev setup.

For now, this is based on Coder, but even if you do everything in Safari, you still can't scroll, and if you try and use the vim extension, you can't type anything at all. This is NOT the developer's fault, it is Apple's for how Safari works. We may not be able to do this for a while, until Coder decides to add trackpad and Vim support, or Apple lets Safari act more "normal".

I use the the free self-hosted option to run code-server from my local machine or a droplet.

It works like a charm!

I do wish there was better trackpad support, however. Finding a way to allow scrolling with a trackpad would be amazing.

The second I first load into Servediter and get it set up their was an infinite refresh loop the second I finish getting everything started so that means I was in a loop of me entering an unknown website and the refresh was looped unlimited amount of times

Please fix your coding website so it’s possible for your users to use and I’m not the only one with this problem

I first tried Servediter with the the subscription and it worked fine. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to get it to connect to my own hosted code-server over ssh.

- Misconfiguring my code-server URL (by leaving it blank) caused Servediter to lock into an infinite loop of opening an empty browser window.
- There is no feedback to see if my SSH credentials are valid. When I enter them I am just taken to a black screen with no visual feedback.
- The eye icon opens a blank white screen that just says “Permission Denied”

I’m trying to debug my problems but unfortunately Servediter offers zero feedback or support suggestions.

Seriously, every single time you click, the window re-positions itself, it’s slow, even with a paid subscription. So slow that my hello-world file with “test” written in c++ on its own line (which intellisense should absolutely catch in a split second), hasn’t even registered as an error in the 3min just sitting there...Not even worth $2.99.

I’ll gladly pay, once I can scroll with a track pad

Mobile experience is pretty bad unfortunately. Can’t seem to figure out how to delete directories in the file system. Not very intuitive to touch-based interfacing. I’ll continue to support the project if I see improvement in these areas

not being able to get feedback on why a confit doesn't work, faking to open github repos (again no ability to understand what's happening) and an obvious, general, lack of interest for end user will remove 3 start from a rating...
Yes, it's free... but that's not a good excuse ...

Love the fact that I can bring my own server and use for free. Wish more apps went that way

Works great, just needs alittle such as command-w to close files, be able to scroll using gestures..

It would be perfect if I could see a completed preview of my HTML file. Text and icon links are working, however images, and elements from my css are not being displayed.

I've tried enabling various preview add ons. No luck.

On an iPad Pro 11 2018 that I am using for class. I would really like to use Servediter instead of a vim or VNC for full functionality.

works great so far. my first impression is it would be better with collapsable top bar.

Tried to host on my vm but didn’t work. My vm is open with password. But would love (5 stars if feels like vscode) to try.

Don’t do it! This thing crashes constantly, losing connectivity... Might as well have set my money on fire. Useless at this point.

Credentials are correct, I can manually use safari, but Servediter is not working.

No any other information.

I can’t scroll with my trackpad and mouse. The window gets refreshed whenever I need a keyboard on screen.

I can’t even download my file

Servediter is currently impossible to use for self hosted. You can’t enter the password for the server after entering the URL; it just constantly closes the keyboard after focusing the input box and doesn’t accept Magic Keyboard input. Servediter constantly just refreshes trying to connect but you can’t enter the password. So, as May 2023 Servediter isn’t usable for self hosting, it is broken out of the box.

Doesn’t work period, and I can’t get the developer to reply to a email to make it right.

I downloaded Servediter on an iPad and iPhone the screen doesn’t launch and sits in a infinite loading glitch. Plus launching using a browser doesn’t work. I emailed the developer and no response for 2 weeks

The fact that I cannot simply delete a file, using intuitive steps that ANYONE would do, is ludicrous. Not worth the money, headache, or time. Especially for a cloud based app.
