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

For me a third option would be a Flutter desktop app.

Thousands of developers, some of the very best developers are amongst them, do not have constant internet or frequent internet disruptions, it would be wise if a local VM or local installation could be available to assist them to also use IDX.

yes it is really very important please add it. Add electron and Tauri support.

IDX Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux), either:
1. Electron / Tauri wrapper
2. Or React Native desktop appFor 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!
