Google just announced Project IDX, which looks really cool. It’s a browser-based code IDE that lets you develop web apps, and in the future will allow for Android and iOS apps (which is really cool because up until now you needed a Mac to make iOS apps). It looks really cool, especially if you don’t have a good machine for coding.

the whole iOS compiling thing seems fishy to me. do they have a special agreement with Apple, because it seems weird to me that Apple would allow Google to do this without having their own service that supports this (apple usually won't let another company do something that they don't do).
also, just to note, google pays apple ~$15 billion a year to be the default browser on iOS and macOS. So they do have expensive deals for certain things. But that would surely inflate the price quite a bit if they did that.
