God I wish iPad OS was a better developer experience. Github's Codespaces feature is awesome, but as a front-end dev there is no way I could use iPad/iOS to build a website. There is no dev tools. The OS keeps trying to suspend apps/tabs in the background when I switch between them. I use the Vim extension in the VS Code remote editor but certain key combos on iOS straight up didn't register. Maybe I'm asking for too much.
This is what I see when I visit the link:<p><pre><code> The Amazon CloudFront distribution is configured to block access from your country.

So I did learn something from the article, if I ever want to exclude visitors to my site from certain countries.
Well, I wrote some Ruby on Rails code on my Samsung tablet some years ago. I mean, I was running the editor and Rails on the tablet, inside Dex for Linux which is an Ubuntu 16.04 container (LXC?) sharing the kernel with Android. Samsung and Canonical worked together to port X11 to the tablet so I had a Unity desktop. I remember it came with VSCode preinstalled inside the container.<p>It was a little slow but probably not much slower than my laptop back in 2005 when I started coding in Rails, if it was any slower at all.
I'd say use GitPod over Codespaces. Originally Microsoft had VS Code Online before they migrated it over to GitHub's ownership.<p>When it was under Microsoft it was rock solid stable. I never had issues with it. When they migrated it to GitHub they removed access to everyone that had been using it for months and failed to migrate users across.<p>Months went by of waiting in the GitHub beta list (for something I'd already been using...) and by the time I got access to it again I couldn't believe how much worse the service had become. It has degraded a lot.<p>Sometimes ports get "stuck" and require a full container restart, which took time, so I ended up writing a script to randomise which port the service I was writing would use. Sometimes it had errors with saving files and they'd just vanish.<p>I've found GitPod to just work. I only use these services when I'm on the move, and use my desktop when at home. I couldn't imagine relying on Codespaces at all.
Use GoCoEdit on your ipad - its a FANTASTIC code editor with connectivity options that actually work well. ( I have no affiliation with the product - I just find it remarkably well done )..
I did something similar with some configuration to apache, mod_vhost_alias and dropbox. I was able to quickly update some tiny websites I keep. I just edit the files locally and a few secs later they are updated.<p>In my dropbox folder I created a Sites folder, where I keep some websites to serve. This folder is shared with another dropbox account syncing on the server, from where the contents are served.<p>To add a new website, I just create a new folder under Sites and point the DNS records to the VPS IP address.
Code-server for life, just one command to install & one file to config the auth/ports & boom after a service restart you are freed from your desk
I know VS Code is Electron anyway, but why would you need an online editor? Couldn't Microsoft (or anyone who's forked it) just release VS Code for tablets?<p>Surely something as powerful as the iPad Pro can handle a fancy text editor.
If you just have a static webpage (html, css, js), I have found Working Copy + GitHub Pages to work perfectly for updating website copy/markup from iOS.
