Pretty cool idea, I'm going to be trying this only using open source Cecli (with DeepSeek API) instead of Claude CLI because I don't have infinite $$$

Thanks! And great idea! I'm still new to hacking - definitely need to check out more of the open source tools out there

It's a fork of Aider but with agent mode, MCP, skills, task manager and more. Very active development team!

this is literally my setup and it is a game-changer: tailscale, tmux, codex/claude code, mosh, blink shell (iOS) https://blink.sh/

Curious if you are directly running mosh on macOS. Last I checked, it was broken on macOS Tahoe, so I have been relying on tmux for surviving flaky ssh connections.

i use both tmux and mosh-server

i install them via nix-darwin (I've abandoned homebrew)

i am on Tahoe latest beta

claude.ai + vercel and you can do it all without anything but your phone

their web interface lets you use Claude code and push changes to a GitHub repository

vercel can auto build from a GitHub repo

even less setup and infrastructure needed

We need to take this idea further. Instead of "remote first", I'm waiting for the first company that will bodly declare "you can do all your work on your phone". I'm tired of lugging my laptop around. Let me work from the beach with my phone and ar glasses.

Please hire me when you make this happen! The tinkering started because I wanted to go outside to code but sitting with your laptop in the park is too strange.

> sitting with your laptop in the park is too strange.

Why should that be strange?

If you're on Android and can download QPython, it works just fine and has for years. This seems way overcomplicated, it depends on a remote computer that's on 24/7? Ick.

Also, if your Android phone is a Pixel, you can run the recently added Terminal app, which runs a plain vanilla Debian distribution within a VM. So you then have a pocketable Linux machine to develop code on. Not only does Python run on it, you can install the entire Anaconda Python suite.

Wow, that’s cool! I wonder whether one day Apple is going to allow something like this with headless “macOS” VM on iPadOS to make it a viable local development platform.

Just install Termux and you're good to go.

So this is the 4th+ article I've seen on using a VPN to vibe code on your phone. Would an email interface to Claude code work better? - Email Claude to start the coding - Claude emails you with any thing it needs acked on. - you reply back to emails telling it what to do. - maybe Claude can run your program and send back screen shots. seems easier then getting a vpn working. What is the downside to using email?

> seems easier then getting a vpn working it could not possibly be easier to get Tailscale up and running on your mac or linux machine, install tmux and mosh on your mac or linux machine, connect to it with Blink Shell https://blink.sh/ on your iOS device that you've also installed tailscale to, and start vibe-coding from anywhere, on a performant, resilient, instantly resumable terminal connection. seriously, it's a…

But I already have email.

I have read of people doing remote coding with clause but through having Claude create pull request. The user then looks through the requests, and either approves or sends it back with edits. Seems like a good way to interact with Claude code, especially once one sets up a test suite and those proposed pull requests have proven not to regress.

This pretty much sounds like my dream vibe coding dashboard - basically a personal Github populated by AI agents I can assign tasks to. Does this exist yet? Or can something like gitea be setup to behave this way?
