Description
Gitpod is an open source cloud development environment (CDE) which is an on-demand development environment that is pre-configured with all tools, libraries and dependencies needed to write and review code. It is basically an open source alternative with free plan to Github codespaces.
I believe having a gitpod in the project would be very useful when you are expecting quick contributions from many developers in crisis times. Contributors can spin up development environment in 5-10 min without any local environment setup.
I added the first PR only for this project's front-end to start the discussion. If it is find useful, we can proceed with back-end of this project and other projects.
