Connect to IDX from SSH, IDX VSCode Extension, or some other way
I want to connect to IDX from something other than the browser. Ideally, this could be my local VSCode instance or it could be over SSH from a terminal running neovim. I would like the power of a cloud workstation from my favorite environments.

Dart support for the Firebase's Admin SDK
Firebase has a server (backend) library called the Admin SDK, which has privileged (admin) access to some Firebase services. There are several language implementations of the Admin SDK: JavaScript/TypeScript (Node.js), Java, Python, Go, and C# (.NET). However, Firebase does not currently support the Dart language.
This is a problem for full-stack Flutter developers, who need to use both the front-end and back-end of a Firebase application. Currently, they need to use different languages for each, such as Dart for the front-end and JavaScript/TypeScript for the back-end. This can lead to decreased productivity and a worse developer experience.
For example, developers…

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.

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.

Firestore indexes in emulator
Currently, the Firestore emulator allows all queries without checking if the query requires an index. It would be great if the emulator checks the Firestore indexes file if the index exists.

Enable import GitHub repo specific directory
Currently, "Import a repo" (when creating a new workspace) only works for cloning an entire repo.
- ✅ https://github.com/my-username/my-project (valid)
- ❌https://github.com/my-username/my-project/tree/main/examples/blog (not valid)
The ability to import a specific directory/path from a repo would be helpful, since many web frameworks have official examples in directories in a single repo.
Example:
- https://github.com/withastro/astro/tree/main/examples (Astro)
- https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples (Next.js)Other online IDEs support this ability, such as Stackblitz, CodeSandbox.

Can we have the Live Share Extension on IDX
I've been teaching students using IDX these days, more or less for fun and also to test how well the IDX AI performs w.r.t React.js. A feature that I use sometimes on the local machine is Live Share extension.
A brief description of the extension -
The Live Share Extension on VSCode enables other dev to work on the same instance of VSCode on multiple files, which is extremely useful when creating small scale projects.
I understand that it is developed by a different company (Microsoft) but it will be helpful specifically for teaching purposes.
There can be an alternative…123 votes -

Add "Delete Chat History" or "Reset Assistant" Button in Firebase Studio / Gemini AI
Many developers are experiencing lag, broken context, or freezing when Firebase Studio (especially with Gemini AI integration) accumulates too much chat history. This often forces us to reset or recreate the entire project — and even then, Gemini may not respond at all.
😫 Common issues:
Chat lag and UI freezing as history grows.Inaccurate or irrelevant responses from Gemini due to old context.
No way to manually clear or reset the AI assistant.
Developers are forced to reset projects, which is disruptive and time-wasting.
✅ Suggested Solution:
Add a simple button such as:“Clear Chat History” or
“Reset Gemini…
