       | idx.dev (now firebase.studio) and like it. They may not have a
       | "template" for the exact stack/app type you are working with, but
       | it's pretty easy to just setup a blank workspace and modify the
       | nix.dev file as needed..

           | to see how the web ide/preview performed.
