If you, just like me, wanted to try Dev Containers, but couldn't, because there was no support in VS Codium, I made an extension. I made it primarily for my own needs but I invite you to try it and contribute too.

The way it works is extremely simple. It builds containers with DevPod (https://github.com/loft-sh/devpod) and connects to them using Open SSH extension (https://github.com/jeanp413/open-remote-ssh). That's it.

You can find it at:
- https://github.com/3timeslazy/vscodium-devpodcontainers
- https://open-vsx.org/extension/3timeslazy/vscodium-devpodcontainers

While making this extension, I also wrote some of my thoughts about dev containers tooling. You can read them here: https://techhub.social/@3timeslazy/113022591492167578

I would also like to mention @sitnik_ru 's thread on this topic: https://mastodon.social/@sitnik_ru/112478911770136745. I knew about devcontainers before, but this thread nudged me to try them again and eventually create my extension. As a thank you, I made a couple of contributions to the slowreader (https://github.com/hplush/slowreader).
