Ask HN: What IDE do you use on your tablet? (Ios or android)

9 pointsby fmsfabout 10 years ago
I am more interested is JS environment, but if you use IDEs for other languages feel free to list them.

For Android, I&#x27;ve been using DroidEdit and DroidScript (and DroidScript lets you compile Javascript to an apk, without the hassle of setting up Cordova).<p>I also have Bit Web Server for php.<p>I haven&#x27;t found a good option for Javascript console debugging on Android. (not linking to your PC to debug like Chrome does, I mean using the JS console on my phone)<p>My problem is the lack of a clip-on physical keyboard. I&#x27;m looking for a clip-on keyboard like the way the Moga controller clips on to my phone. The iControlpad2 would have been nice, but that project turned out to be a fraud. I have a qqtech mini bluetooth keyboard, but without a clip-on capability it&#x27;s hard to use on the subway.<p>I saw clip-on keyboards that work only with my phone (Samsung Galaxy S4), but that&#x27;s no good because I&#x27;m upgrading soon.

There is QPython on Android that is ok. What I found frustrating with Android is that the python implementation of QPython is restricted to QPython. For example, I can&#x27;t access to the Python REPL from emacs on my tablet. I saw some SSH clients for android (for example: Juice SSH). I am tempted to set up SSH on my computer and ssh there from my tablet, so I can have access to my whole environment from Android; the only problem with that is that it depends too much on having access to Internet.

For Python on iOS you should try Pythonista[0]. It&#x27;s $7 and it&#x27;s really good. I use it on my phone more often than my iPad but it runs great on both.<p>[0]: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;omz-software.com&#x2F;pythonista&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;omz-software.com&#x2F;pythonista&#x2F;</a>

JQT for J runs great on Android, for anyone into J.
