Problem
The RAP application can be seen as an IDE for Ampersand. Today, more and more users work with VS-code as a general purpose IDE. So why not for Ampersand?
From a user perspective, we want more than just the option to work with VS-code. The Ampersand-IDE must be open for users to add their own functionality. RAP does not offer such openness, but VS-code does. That is the user-driven reason why we want to do this. Needless to say that Ampersand users should get at least the same functionality as they got in RAP.
There is also a more selfish reason to want this. We spend a lot of effort to maintain RAP. If the Ampersand-IDE is strong enough to replace RAP, we will most likely do that to eliminate the maintenance effort on RAP. Strong enough means: better functionality and less maintenance work than RAP.
Analysis
By the looks of it, the functionality of RAP can be realised within VS-code. By wrapping it in a dev-container, we can ship it as a simple-to-install IDE for Ampersand. This analysis is yet to be done.
Proposal
We propose to make a dev-container for VS-code with the following features:
