#2Hi HN,
I've been implementing it since July last year. I'm still developing / improving it. Well, Apple just approved the latest version.
Well, it's not LightTable, but with it, you can commit to GitHub and deploy to Heroku, StackMob, or AppHarbor from your iPad.

#3Is there a custom keyboard like with iSSH: http://www.zinger-soft.com/support_g_3.html
The problem is that certain punctuation symbols (: . { }) are used often and they require a modal change to input them. I point to iSSH because the ability to reconfigure the keyboard makes it easy to type large blocks of code.

#4This looks lovely! Nicely done.
Big question that I couldn't see an answer to in the screenshots: how do you tab?
Also, is there any chance of custom syntax highlighting for people like me who need to code in languages like (say it quietly) PHP from time to time?

Thanks.
Well, just tap the files and the tabs will open automatically.
Send me an email. Syntax highlighting can be done quickly.

Hmm.. Not at the moment. I need to think about it. I'm a bit wary to add additional keys. On landscape, the text window becomes a bit too small to my liking. But. I'll think about it.

#7Most probably after this, I'll add server side execution (since Apple doesn't allow execution of downloaded code on iPad)
Thus, you can run Python, Ruby, etc from the iPad. Worqshop will transfer the code to server, execute, and bring the results back to the iPad. Seamlessly and transparently.

You can make a custom keyboard smaller than the standard text keyboard, solving your problem :)

#9This looks awesome and with it (when it gets a few more languages for syntax highlighting) I will really have to reconsider buying an iPad + bluetooth keyboard for on-the-road/on-vacation times when I need to make minor edits online for work. Also I would order an iPad today if it also included an ssh terminal. That would seal it for me! Also maybe some way to connect through sftp and edit files directly on a server would be great

I think that would a huge addition. Only thing is how could you handle execution of web apps (not just services)?
