We've made something similar at Repl.it -- we call it "Repl from Repo". It's far from running everything but it can run a lot: https://repl.it/blog/github

We tried to make it as seamless and as low configuration as possible. Our "run on repl.it" badge is currently growing exponentially on GitHub.

Great work on this. Is it open source? Or is there a way to use my own hardware? If not, then it seems like gitpod.io[0] is a much better fit for the open source ecosystem. That said, there's definitely a place for proprietary software in this space (I'm a Glitch user and I love it).

Much of the component pieces are open-source, as I mention in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22278301

And the goal is to get to open-source most, if not all of it.

Is GitPod fully open-source? AFAICT you still need to buy a license to self-host.

Gitpod is open-source at core. I.e. we made the IDE completely open-source (https://theia-ide.org). I didn't know replit is open-source. Can you share a pointer?
