How people can code on airplanes amazes me. I have tried but the cramped space, the constant interruptions.. I never get much done.

It's not the constant interruptions (headphones do a good job of dealing with that), its the lack of internet access that is the showstopper - I don't have all the APIs + docs in my head.

As a father of three toddlers, I can tell you that sitting in an airplane for hours is pure heaven for concentration and lack of distractions.

Use https://kapeli.com/dash on Mac or the open source equivalents on other platforms.

I tried to read the article but I couldn't. It's all one big block. The word wrapping is wrong on input! Individual paragraphs are groups of individual lines and extra long lines that the browser wraps for you. So you end up with lines in the middle of paragraphs that only have one or two words.

I use https://kapeli.com/dash for offline documentation for when I'm on flights. Also, WiFi has been available on more and more flights. I actually have found long flights good for solid focused coding sessions (especially when I already have thought through what I want to build).

edit: woops, looks like someone submitted this at the same time. In any case, working offline also forces you to reign in your app dependencies.
