Discuss here different C compiler set ups, and compiling executables for the ESP8266

#50335 I have used build.particle.io to program a Particle Photon and codebender.cc to program an Arduino on my Chromebook. Unfortunately, Codebender doesn't yet support the ESP8266 (it may do in future as it's the most requested board for them to add but that may be some time away).

I could set up a development server either on my home network or on AWS but accessing GUIs over the network isn't the smoothest user experience. I could use the command line (I have a long Unix background and I am very comfortable with command line tools) but it's not clear how I could flash the resulting binaries on my Chromebook.

Does anyone else do this? What options are open to me?
