Why devpod?

[chrisRidgers]

Currently looking into nvims support for devcontainers, hoping to switch away from vscode (no shade, just like vim, also like devcontainers). Looking at the requirements for docker/ devcontainer support - can someone explain to me exactly what devpod is for / doing?

GitHub Codespaces but open source, yeh ok. But as someone who's never used codespaces and is just running a docker instance locally... I just don't intuitively get why devpod is needed or what it is doing - I could spin up a devcontainer using the devcontainer cli, and as long as it has neovim running as a server... neovim (local) should be able to connect to it yes? (and in turn, this plugin could facilitate this by spinning up the devcontainer and reconnecting in a similar manner?)

So why devpod?
