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

Diet Coda

Koder

iSSH

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

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'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's $7 and it's really good. I use it on my phone more often than my iPad but it runs great on both.

For Android, I've been using DroidEdit and DroidScript (and DroidScript lets you compile Javascript to an apk, without the hassle of setting up Cordova).

I also have Bit Web Server for php.

I haven'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)

My problem is the lack of a clip-on physical keyboard. I'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's hard to use on the subway.

I saw clip-on keyboards that work only with my phone (Samsung Galaxy S4), but that's no good because I'm upgrading soon.
