Show HN: XaresAICoder – Open-Source Browser IDE with Claude, Gemini, Aider

I recently gave a talk about AI coding tools at the Java Forum Stuttgart. While preparing demos and switching between different AI assistants, I realized how tedious it is to constantly juggle environments and tools. That sparked the idea for XaresAICoder. The problem: Many developers can't install tools on their corporate notebooks but want to experiment with AI coding. Others waste time managing ports, environments, and worrying about AI agents accidentally modifying files outside project boundaries. My solution: XaresAICoder provides isolated browser-based development environments with VS Code (via code-server) at their core. Each workspace comes pre-configured with Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenCode SST, and Aider - allowing you to test different LLMs (including locally-hosted models with Aider) without installation hassles.

Key features:

One-click project creation with Python/Flask, Node/React, or Java/Spring templates Sandboxed execution - no port conflicts or accidental file modifications Integrated Forgejo Git server for automatic version control Runs with docker on WSL, Linux (local or server), macOS likely works too (can someone confirm?) Container-level password protection for workshops/internal networks

This isn't another "vibe-coding" browser tool - it's a real development environment for professional developers who need proper tooling but face installation restrictions or want safer AI experimentation. All Open Source and on your machines. And: made mostly with AI (Claude); really great when you just sit and watch how claude code fixes docker config problems and do tests runs.

I'm curious: What's your biggest friction point when working with AI coding assistants? Happy to discuss the architecture!
