Sound like it could be really useful. Wondering if there will be a method to load the remote workspace locally if I need to do development without internet (travelling, etc)
I have been using Nimbus on my flights and it works well. Of course depends on your geolocation, the latency can be higher than normal but the internet speed should not be a blocker because all the intense internet traffic happens on the data center.
However, without internet it would be challenging to leverage Nimbus solution at this moment since the environments live on the cloud 100% now. But in the future, we will look into a hybrid solution. In short, we can offer the option to rsync (or similar tools) the cloud environments into your local or the other way around to facilitate this corner case.
We have some loose plans but not really high up to be honest.
From a traveling perspective, it works well... as long as you have internet..you get fast download speeds (based on AWS data center transfer speeds), can work on an env more powerful than ultrabooks, and your battery life is longer.
But you can't work from a jungle or a plane without wifi :)
