+1 for cloud workspace / desktop IDE for convergence.

 

Wasn’t the Flux project exactly about that ?

I see many committers but no recent commits, does anybody know recent status ?

Essentially there was a lot of interest in Flux but it didn't gather enough momentum to bring in contributors, and the project stalled. There is still a working prototype there, that anyone is welcome to pick up and continue. I really love its architecture and overall approach, and I think this model of blending cloud-based and desktop tools will eventually gain traction. It might have been a bit "too early" for the market on this idea.
