Ask HN: Rails development on the iPad

1 points by jlam3279 ↗ HN
Hi all,

I'm wondering what the state of developing RoR apps from an iPad is? I picked up a copy of Textastic, but would like to know what other tools are recommended.

Cheers.

Sorry to say that, but use the right tool for the job. Some kind of PC with Linux or OSX on it.

Yep I'm a rails dev so I understand what are the right tools, but that doesn't answer my question.

Sorry to say that, but answer the right answer for the question.

I keep seeing posts like this, especially "how to use your tablet like a PC" or "how to run Windows on your tablet". Just buy a computer! It's not as sexy but you'll be more productive :-)

Already have a MacBook and an iMac which I use everyday. My question was not about productivity, more about curiosity.

Ah, apologies for jumping to conclusions :-)
