Currently in beta, [Github codespaces](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/developing-online-with-codespaces) provide a VM for development that can be launched directly from Github. Essentially this is VSCode in the browser, with tight integration to Github and VM on demand. I briefly experimented with developing a streamlit app in a Codespace in the repo below, and proved the concept. The promise is that there should be no more headaches setting up and managing a development environment, and the combo with [Streamlit sharing](https://www.streamlit.io/sharing) means a person could develop, test and deploy a streamlit app without ever leaving their browser, which I think is pretty neat and should lower the barrier to entry. I didn’t yet have time to wrap all this up with a nice example app and thorough documentation, but am putting it out there in case this is of wider interest.

Hey, @robmarkcole this is a fantastic, however when I tried it by running` streamlit hello` it gave the network URL, but when I open it, It was not loading, any help please. ![codespaces](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/streamlit/original/2X/1/1f3ed10545cb350b55d6b4da3efde92b666297ad.jpeg) ![codespaces1](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/streamlit/original/2X/e/e56c1266ccf28d296862e3a23d43f84dbcb2764d.jpeg) what should I do next or what am I missing? ---

Yes you need to forward the port, the UI makes this pretty straightforward: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/streamlit/original/2X/3/3d188c74334c5fe0c1ca7116c6844318a95c2cef.png) ---
