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?

E-mail is not secure (sent in plain text)

You're vibe coding. Clearly what you're working on isn't of enough value to secure anyway.

Email might work, however if you're a Telegram user you could write a bot that runs on your home system that runs the cli commands on your behalf and then sends the output as a response to you. No need to open up any ports on your router.

I've been using Telegram bot to talk to a Claude SDK agent who talks to my Claudes via tmux commands (all running on a DigitalOcean VPS)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

If you've got a Mac in the mix, you should be aware that it can use an Apple TV as a monitor, so you can have a wireless extended desktop to anything that takes HDMI.

Are there any benefits besides a nice GUI? I'm fairly comfortable with my linux desktop as an interface. TBH the most frustrating part is the iPhone shortcut app I made which I strongly believe is less about me and more than Apple is actively trying to be annoying (I recently had an update that required a minor change because the dictionaries in Shortcuts is idiotic) Also, I heard that you can install Tailscale on it…

It's something to be aware of if you already have the mac. It's nice to be able to have people over and they can share what's on their laptop with everybody without everybody having to huddle around one machine.

I don’t get it. How is this different from using the Claude iOS (and I assume Android) native app and use their “Code” option. It fires up a Claude Code session in the cloud and you can vibe code anything while on the toilet.

DIY culture I guess, but yea both Claude and Codex have native phone apps that run the agent on a cloud VM and can push PRs.

I've been using Claude Code in their iOS app (on a Pro account). I just point it at my GitHub repo, and tell it to work on one of the issues I created. It required very little setup beyond what I did for Claude Code CLI.

i've seen that work well on existing codebases, but bootstrapping a codebase that way is like pulling teeth in my past experiences.

so it really sort of falls back to what you're doing with the llm. code maintenance isn't novel development, which isn't polishing.

Guys hear me out. If you ssh into your raspberry pi or any PC you could open console and run nano text.md file. Then you can manage your todo list from any device remotely. Stop doom scrolling and start disrupting todo subscription services. /s

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.

Also, you can have NixOS instead of debian: https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-avf

And what's the recommendation for iOS? Because, as it turns out, the Termux app on the App Store is not the same as the one on the Play Store, just uses the same name.

use blink https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/blink-shell-build-code/id15948...

Blink will end up giving you an experience similar to the stack in doom-coding (as Blink's local capabilities are very limited thanks to iOS rules) except you have to pay a subscription.

Termux on Android will let you do anything you can do on your standard Linux PC.
