ETA on codespaces for individuals?

[amcintosh]

Any idea when it will be available outside of organizations?

I would like to know this as well. Very excited to try out the new features!

Hey @amcintosh and @jramirez857; there was a passing comment in the opening keynote of "soon".

ps. Whilst you are waiting how about taking Gitpod for a spin? We are available for all and our free tier provides 50/hrs a month. What works on Codespaces works on Gitpod and we are the inventors of the prebuild technique they launched today. See www.gitpod.io/blog/cake

Thanks for this. I'll be sure to check it out! 🙂

We know that free and pro users would love to use Codespaces, and we're working out what this might look like (primarily from a pricing side), so stay tuned and check the Changelog periodically to stay up to date!

[amcintosh]

Awesome! Thanks @asciimike!

[jramirez857]

Thanks for this! @asciimike

I usually run my development environments using local docker containers, but this sound like a pretty solid alternative which I look forward to try out 🧑‍🔬

You can play around with devcontainers locally in Visual Studio Code using the Remote - Containers extension, which sounds a lot like your current flow!
