Example of what it looks like with the Excalidraw PWA (This is in no way a native App, this was installed by chrome from the URL):

I don't really understand the question here. But I think what your are looking for is to use vscode-web as a local file editor.

Now VSCode have those features built-in

Open a local file

• Run the vscode-web sample
• Press CMD + O
• you can also find this in the Menu
  • File -> Open File

Open a local folder

• Run the vscode-web sample
• Click on "Add a folder" in the file explorer

Currently when I want to edit a JSON, csv, md or js file I just downloaded, If I right click on it in the file manager, vscode-web doesn't show up as an option, despite being installed. There is now an API to make it show up... XCalidraw uses it and I've attached a screenshot of their use in the OP

Here's what it currently looks like when I right click a json file in my file manager, notice the absence of vscode-web:

This also allows setting vscode-web as the default file handler, which can make opening a csv or txt report go from a 5 click process, down to a single click process.

@rayfoss Think this would be an issue better suited for microsoft/vscode

VSCode is distributed as a native app, they have no need to implement new web APIs... specially as this is most useful for non-DOS based operating systems like M1 Macs and web based OSs popular in schools.

Would you consider a PR that registers vscode-web as a csv, txt and html app with FileSystemHandle?

They have a web app! Also, they have an app for M1 macs! DO YOUR RESEARCH!

I'm going to have to find that web-app... this is the repo I landed on while searching for that web app. Their M1 mac app is based on electron... meaning it's not as battery optimized for the M1 as a Safari backed PWA. ...

Update: I thought this was the code used to generate VSCode Web ...
