Gemini 2.5 for prototyping
Leveraging the new and improved model, Gemini 2.5 would provide an enormous performance boost for coding and improve the Firebase App Prototype feature instantly, in cost for speed.

Improving Interactive Chat
In Interactive Chat mode, it would be great if Gemini could review the entire project upon our first entry and provide some suggestions. For example, it could point out issues like 'The APIKEY section in your project is empty; you should fill it in,' or suggest improvements such as 'Adding this here would make it better.' Additionally, I think there should be a standalone application for this feature, not just web-based access.

Firebase rules like Cursor rules
Okay, here is the detailed description of Cursor AI Rules in English:
"Cursor AI Rules" are configuration files that allow you to customize the behavior of the artificial intelligence within Cursor AI to your specific needs and projects. They enable you to set guidelines, constraints, and behavioral patterns for AI interactions.
There are different types of Cursor AI Rules:
- Global AI Rules (Settings):
These rules are configured in the Cursor settings under "General".
They establish fundamental principles for all AI interactions and are language-agnostic.
For example, you can specify that the AI should always explore the code first before reaching…39 votes -
Support jupyter notebooks and GPU computation
Adding support for jupyter notebooks and access to GPUs will enable deep learning and AI related developments much more easier in project idx. While Google colab and kaggle provides this, they lack a good IDE and other features. Also you can look lightning.ai studios for inspiration.

We need support for native mobile development for Android and ios
We need support for native mobile development for Android and ios (java, kotlin, Swift, C++)
482 votesAs many of you may have seen from our I/O Connect announcements, we are actively working on having Android Studio work on IDX. Here is a teaser video: https://x.com/kirupa/status/1813693281039212735
Please join the waitlist to be among the first to try out this experience once we make it available for early testing: https://idx.google.com/android-studio

Proposal for Local Deployment of Firebase Studio to Optimize Performance and Enable Offline Functionality
I recommend deploying a local instance of the Firebase Studio app to allow direct access to system resources (e.g., local files or databases), minimizing cloud dependency and network latency. This setup would enhance performance and support offline operations

Desktop App
IDX Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux), either:
- Electron / Tauri wrapper
- Or React Native desktop app
For better avoidance of browser keyboard shortcuts / better native + OS integration
I'm a big supporter of web standards, but running an editor in a browser tab or even as a desktop PWA is often lacking / janky (judging based on the VS Code editor on github.dev)
Alternative Considered: PWA
If you manage to achieve parity by fixing the UX problems and integrating natively, making it work without downsides, I'll be on board with running IDX as a PWA!

Working together
I think it would be so much better if we can see who is online in the project, where is their cursor, and what are their working in. Like in google docs. So we can collaborating making a project simulteneously. No need to worry about the commit and conflict.

IDX should support third-party repositories
IDX should support third-party repositories, not only GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket. I cannot work on the code hosted on self-hosted Gitea repository

Bookmarks
Bookmarks for Gemini Assistant while working on a project. Like if im working on a feature for app and i have to complete 3 tasks/steps to complete that feature, while working on step 1( which my require fixing errors etc.) other steps gets lost in the chat and require scrolling back and further. A cool feature would be to bookmark certain messages/plans/steps so we can refer back and insert quickly into Gemini chat.

Request for Flutter Support with iOS Simulator in IDX
Please include support for the iOS simulator within IDX for Flutter projects. This addition would greatly simplify the process of testing and debugging iOS apps directly within IDX, eliminating the need for external tools or complex setups. If iOS support is disabled, kindly provide a reason for the decision. Thank you for considering this request.

Allow multiple developers to manage, build, and deploy
Enable collaborative development in Google IDX by integrating team management through Google Cloud IAM. This allows multiple developers to manage, build, and deploy immersive experiences collaboratively, enhancing project efficiency.

React Native implementation
It would be good to implement templates since it is another alternative to flutter. It would also be good to implement .idx/dev.nix to be automatically loaded when cloning a git repository

More powerful integration with AI features
- Ability to upload an image in the Gemini chat. I should be able to screenshot a figma design and have Gemini implement it as best as it can.
- Ability to reference local code. Similar to Cursor IDE, I should be able to tell Gemini: "Look at this @file as a reference", or: "Only use the components under @example/components"
- Ability to customize a default prompt. If I always use certain conventions I don't want to repeat them over and over. I should be able to write them once under .idx/prompt.txt and have Gemini use them for context.

Local file system access
Introduce the capability to browse and open local filesystem directories, as available in vscode.dev, where users can open directories and not just individual files, directly from the browser interface.
Current behavior in vscode.dev: Users can interact with the local filesystem through the browser, opening folders and files as if working locally, without uploading content to the server, which effectively bridges local and cloud development environments.
Impact: Implementing this would reduce context-switching and improve user experience by providing a seamless development workflow that integrates local and cloud-based resources.
Technical Suggestion: Adopt a File System Access API strategy to enable secure and…

Raise the number of workspaces limit
Hey Project IDX team,
I don't want to have a limit of 2 workspaces in project IDX. Can you lift the limit of two workspaces to maybe 50-100? I want to draft a lot of flutter, angular, and react projects in project IDX. Thanks.
