Description

Description of the Feature request

I need to manage files on a server. The current standard is to host something like VSCode or VSCodium on the server.
But they are heavy softwares, and NPP is very light in comparison.
I would love to have NPP available on my browsers whether I use my phone or any computer, without having to configure each one, import SSH keys, etc.

Requirements

The requirement would be either:

  • create and expose a web interface (so that a browser can access it at e.g. http://localhost:8080)
  • or display the window in a similar way to https://github.com/nelyon/wanderbird does (it virtualizes a desktop then streams it via RDP / VNC)

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. First clarify whether the deliverable is a Docker image alone, a browser interface, or a virtualized desktop streamed through RDP/VNC; define the supported hosting path and acceptance criteria before assessing implementation work.
