How will it be different from Github CodeSpaces, CodeAnywhere, and other ones out there?

CodeSpaces works really really well

Its more a mix of ide and cloud provider.

The goal is to provide a much simpler experience compared to today's cloud providers and kubernetes, while giving the opportunity to ad-hoc code directly in the browser.

* Make it easy to configure and extend

* Low input latency
