1. Enhance Go Development Support for Integrated GUI Applications in Remote/Cloud IDEs

   Enhance Go Development Support for Integrated GUI Applications in Remote/Cloud IDEs

   To the Google Firebase/Cloud Platform Team,

   I am writing to provide critical feedback on the current Go development experience within cloud-based IDE environments (such as Cloud Workstations or Cloud Shell Editor) and to propose a significant feature enhancement that aligns with modern full-stack development trends.

   1. Summary of the Strategic Goal: Go for End-to-End Applications

   Our objective is to leverage the performance and cross-compilation capabilities of Go (Golang) for developing integrated, full-stack applications—specifically, those combining high-performance Go backends with modern Go-based Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs).

   The ability to rapidly prototype, debug, and run Go-based frontends (e.g., using toolkits like Fyne, Wails, or Gioui) within the same remote environment used for backend and cloud service development is an essential step toward achieving a truly unified, holistic cloud development workflow for the Go ecosystem.

   1. The Technical Limitation: The Headless Barrier

   While the remote IDE is robust for compiling and executing server-side Go services, it fundamentally fails when attempting to execute applications that require access to a display server.

   The Issue Encountered (Proof of Concept Failure):

   When attempting to run a simple application built with fyne.io/fyne/v2, the process fails at two stages:

   Build Stage Failure: Compilation initially fails due to the absence of crucial underlying system dependencies (e.g., OpenGL, X11 header files, and required C/C++ tooling) that Go GUI toolkits rely on for linking.

   Runtime Stage Failure (Root Cause): Even after manually installing the necessary dependency libraries (e.g., libgl1-mesa-dev, xorg-dev), the application executable cannot launch because the Cloud IDE container is a "headless" environment that lacks an active X Display Server or Wayland compositor. The application terminates with errors indicating it cannot open a display connection (e.g., $DISPLAY not set).

   This structural limitation restricts Go's utility on the platform exclusively to CLI and API-only development.

   1. Impact and Value Proposition

   This limitation creates a significant friction point for Go developers:

   Fragmented Workflow: Developers are forced to compile their backend remotely but must switch to a local machine to compile, run, and debug the corresponding GUI or desktop-style frontend. This breaks the promise of a seamless, cloud-native development experience.

   Restricted Market Adoption: It limits the platform's appeal for developers who choose Go specifically for its strong cross-platform GUI options (desktop, mobile, WebAssembly).

   Loss of Debugging Efficiency: The powerful remote debugging tools available in the IDE cannot be effectively utilized for the user-facing portion of a Go application.

   The Opportunity: By solving the display server problem, Google Cloud can position Go as a premier language for truly integrated full-stack development, appealing to users who value the concurrency and single-binary deployment advantages Go offers.

   1. Proposed Solution: Integrated Virtual Display Streaming (The Key Feature)

   The most robust solution involves integrating a mechanism to provision and stream a virtual graphical environment directly into the user's browser.

   Primary Feature Ask: Virtual Display and Streaming

   We request the implementation of a service that automatically handles the graphical runtime environment:

   Virtual Display Service: Automatically initialize and manage a virtual display server (such as Xvfb or a similar in-memory display buffer) within the development container.

   Dependency Pre-configuration: Ensure that all standard Go development environments (or a dedicated "Go GUI" template) are pre-installed with the required X11, OpenGL, and C/C++ development libraries necessary for major Go GUI toolkits to compile successfully.

   Low-Latency Streaming: Implement a low-latency, WebSockets-based streaming solution (e.g., leveraging VNC/noVNC principles) that captures the output of the virtual display and renders it in a dedicated browser tab or pane within the Cloud IDE, allowing for full mouse and keyboard interaction.

   Execution Flow: A developer should be able to simply execute a Go GUI application (e.g., go run main.go), and the IDE automatically starts the necessary forwarding/streaming process, showing the interactive application window.

   Minimum Requirement: Clear Guidance and Pre-configuration

   At a minimum, if real-time streaming is not immediately feasible, we request:

   Pre-configured Base Images: Offer official container images that include the necessary system dependencies (libgl1-mesa-dev, xorg-dev, etc.) to guarantee that Go GUI applications can at least successfully compile and be packaged/built for local deployment, eliminating the "missing dependency" build errors.

   Clear Documentation: Provide prominent documentation explicitly detailing the headless limitation and directing users toward the supported cross-compilation workflow for Go GUI applications.

   By integrating the Virtual Display Streaming capability, you will transform the developer experience for a growing segment of the Go community and significantly expand the scope of application development supported by the Firebase and Google Cloud platforms.

   Thank you for your review and consideration of this strategic enhancement.

2. Clear parts of context

   If I rollback a change to the project, but the previous change is still in context then future changes are poisoned. I need a way to clear part of the context. Or even just resetting the context would help.

3. Enhanced Git Branch Integration in Prototyping View

   Hello Firebase Team,

   I'd like to propose a feature enhancement for the Prototyping view in Firebase Studio that would significantly improve the development workflow.

   My suggestion consists of two parts:

   1. Current Branch Visibility: Display the name of the active Git branch somewhere visible within the Prototyping UI. This would prevent confusion and eliminate the need to switch back to the terminal or IDE to confirm the current branch.

   2. In-UI Branch Switching: Add a dropdown menu or a similar control that allows developers to quickly switch between their local Git branches directly from the Prototyping view.

   Implementing this would streamline the process of testing and comparing different feature branches, making development much more efficient. Thank you for your consideration.

6. Hire a real vibe coder

   Hire a real user like me with 3000 hours of experience in developing on multiple ai coding platforms. Firebase is garbage right now. I tried to create a simple app and it failed miserably. Are you guys going for a very long road to get there or do you want to surpass your competitors right now?

9. Get back to the previous versions at any point of time.

   This is crucial yet important feature, firebase should have. To get back to the old versions. As i experienced my project broke completely, and now i have no option to just go back 2 prompts up and fix it as it was.

10. Consider Claude Code-style <system-reminder> messages for Gemini

    I've been very frustrated by Gemini's seemingly increasing inability to correctly follow questions including going off track and doing other things. I'd like to bring this article highlighing how Claude Code seems to stay on track better than all its competitors to FS developers' attention, please: https://medium.com/@outsightai/peeking-under-the-hood-of-claude-code-70f5a94a9a62

    This Twitter thread shows how this feature provides such a strong competitive advantage: https://x.com/vitransformer/status/1958135188749509016

14. Firebase is garbage, unusable, and does not work for any actual coding

    I have been using Replit and Claude code for over 3000 hours. Firebase doesn't even come close to being able to develope any real code or functionality. Mistake after mistake, trial and error. If you really want to fix the issues, upvote this, then have google pay me for my feedback. otherwise enjoy the useless tool. going back to reality.... to develop real apps.

15. Add npm workspace support for monorepos

    App Hosting already supports nx based monorepos, but it would be great to have basic npm workspace support. I tried to take the plunge and convert my repo to nx tooling but I failed spectacularly 🙂 npm workspaces are super simple to get started with and other than not being able to deploy to App Hosting, they haven't come up short for me in a way that would convince me to try nx again.

20. Data Connect should be serverless through and through.

    One of the great things about firebase is that it didn't burden you of your design decisions and let you pay for resources when you needed it. Serverless is one of the main selling point of firebase, you can see its footprints on firestore, realtimedb, and firebase functions.

    Seeing the need to instantiate a DB instance when getting started with data connect was so disappointing for me because I thought it was a step in the wrong direction.
