[Remix OS for PC] drillster:
When I first saw Remix OS, I was ecstatic thinking of the possibilities for development, and now that it's come out on the Pixel C, this could be really innovative.

Imagine using Android Studio on my laptop and then pushing my in-development application to the Pixel C using ADB (Android Debug Bridge) over wire or wifi, and then an app window showing up to test my app, essentially replacing a real phone with an all in one Pixel C computer. The main reason why this was so ecstatic for me was because what I am testing on is now no longer a phone, but a computer, four very important and useful things open up for me to possibly experience:

I can resize my application easily on the tablet to test out any dimensions.

- We all know the emulator is a ***** in Android and even the thought of starting and restarting different emulator instances for different dimensions, or, god forbid spending hundreds of dollars on different android devices of different sizes just irks me to the core.

- Resizing would become as simple as a click, hold, and drag, just like browser development. An added bonus would be Jide giving a little toolbar above or below or to the side of these development applications to simulate different settings, such as Location, Network, whatever, and maybe even a resize button to select popular and customizable preset dimensions.

I can have multiple instances of my application to run at the same time, basically A/B test on myself.

- I don't know how you can manage this, but if you can, whatever the way it may be done, it would be marvelous.

- Imagine the power of being able to test multiple versions of an application side by side or even different applications side by side, one for each window of Android studio perhaps.

- Testing is one of the slowest factors of android development, but no matter how you put it, being able to run as many applications as I want to test would definitely speed up the process.

- Write a bit of code for idea one and start the test and let it run.

- Code up another idea to test.

- While the second one is getting ready for testing, you can test the first one.

- When the second one is ready, we can test them side by side to see which idea is better.

- It would be, again, simply marvelous, and the number of instances to test could be increased for even greater speed.

I can control it from my laptop.

- If you need to be told the gigantic advantages of being able to control your android device by simply moving your mouse over to the screen as if it was an extended display, then you must really not have any imagination.

- There are many tools out there to allow this kind of control, and all Jide really has to do is make it really easy for us to root the OS, maybe a button click in the developer tools, so we can install tools like the ones I mentioned above.

Remix OS could become where I test AND develop. If an android studio like tool were to be created for Remix OS, where all the previews and all the testing are just popups on the sides of the tool, then development would be even cooler.

- There would be no need for a native android device, no need to fumble back and forth, especially since Laptops or the Pixel C would probably have all the features of a modern phone, and thus act just like one in testing.

- Since all we're doing is launching another application on the native OS, there shouldn't be any annoying and overbearing emulator problems, nor lag or performance issues.

- I know this is a stretch, since a tool like Android Studio would be very hard to live up to, but even a simpler version would do, like sublime; Jide may even contract or partner up with IntelliJ to create such a tool or host of tools.

These four core points are marvelous, and for an android developer, Jide would become heaven. If Jide really does listen to the community, they would listen to this, because if they pushed forward with these ideas, their platform would grow a lot, easily becoming the number one platform for Android development, definitely garnering a lot of attention.

Oh, and please add a Linux console I can use.

Thank you.

Sincerely, an imaginative android/web developer.
