Could you build this?
Partial A basic code editor and remote SSH client is vibe-codeable, but embedding VS Code extensions and a robust POSIX-compliant terminal on iOS requires deep platform knowledge.
What it would actually take: The architecture typically pairs a native Swift/SwiftUI shell with WebKit running Monaco editor or code-server, plus native SSH/terminal bindings (libssh2). The hardest parts are iOS sandbox constraints, memory limits on WebKit, handling background connections over SSH, and implementing VS Code extension host compatibility. It requires deep iOS systems programming and expertise in IDE architectures.
