Feature Request: Support E2B Cloud as Project Management Backend #887
Description
Feature Request: Support E2B Cloud as Project Management Backend
Problem Statement
Currently, happy allows mobile/web clients to connect to Codex and Claude Code for AI-assisted programming. However, when operating from a mobile device, users may not have a local development environment readily available.
Proposed Solution
Integrate E2B (https://e2b.dev) as an optional project management and sandbox backend. This would enable:
- Cloud-based project management: Users can manage their projects in E2B cloud sandboxes instead of local machines
- Mobile programming with E2B sandbox resources: When users code from their phones, the operations (file editing, terminal commands, etc.) would execute against resources inside an E2B sandbox, not requiring a local machine to be online
- On-demand sandboxed dev environments: E2B provides ephemeral, cloud-based development environments that can be spun up on demand
Use Cases
- Mobile developers who want to code on-the-go without needing their local machine
- Teams that want to provide sandboxed coding environments for users
- Users behind restrictive networks or without persistent local development setups
Technical Considerations
- E2B provides SDKs for sandbox management: https://github.com/e2b-dev/e2b
- Sandbox templates could be pre-configured with Claude Code / Codex
- The existing mobile/web client UI could add an E2B mode alongside the current direct connection mode
