#252Cursor--run in cloud seems to work just fine for this. I setup my project and then github to publish web or mobile app.... i believe claude can also take instructions from github...or am i missing something.

#253Tailscale is quite handy in remote agent coding, Sometimes I use tailscale and RustDesk on my phone to check Claude code, I also built an app called NovaAccess which bake tailscale into the app which does not confict of VPN I used.

Tailscale is easy for a dev to get going and very reliable. The author uses the Termius SSH app with Mosh, so it keeps the same SSH session going across device sleeps and disconnects. Tmux is helpful, too. I do exactly what the auth…
I'm fairly sure that levelsio didn't popularize SSHing into a computer from your phone to run a program. We were all doing it before LLMs.
I did this on my Nokia phone over GPRS in 2005, my program of choice was irssi. We did have a Markov chain bot though.

#255This is cute.
My personal world changed when I discovered Nix On Droid and cloned my personal Claude Code flake which uses pnpm to keep a rolling bleeding edge version with revision controlled dots. I started using Nvim /avante and open router shortly after that, also via Nix on Droid. Game changer for those long subway rides.

#256So 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?

Why not use a browser? OpenCode has a webUI, you can simply host that on your machine at home and VPN to it. https://opencode.ai/docs/server/ (sadly no screenshots, but its a pretty good GUI, looks like their desktop app)
From that page: > The opencode serve command runs a headless HTTP server that exposes an OpenAPI endpoint… Unless I missed it, there’s no mention of a web UI?
The docs are very behind, there is indeed a full blown webui and with opencode serve you can access it

While I don't use the AI part I have a very similar scheme and it is one of the reasons I encourage people to live in the terminal. The idea is to create a modern "terminal"[0] My main computer is a Macbook Air, which I carry around with me. It's purpose is for: internet, using Microsoft products when I'm forced to, Zoom/meetings, and SSH (or Mosh). Most of my work is not done on this Macbook, instead I use it mostly…
Yeah thin clients [0] make a lot of sense with this kind of workflow. If you only really need text, living in the terminal and browser, it might make sense to use eink for eye comfiness and outdoor readability, something like this hack: https://maxogden.com/kindleberry-wireless . Or one of those eink android tablets. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin_client
Has the refresh rate on eink devices reached like 30-60fps?
It definitely looks cool and I might give it a try, but I do love my dark mode and color syntax. My understanding is that color on eink is pretty limited. It also isn't worth it to me if I'm going to be spending $500+ on a "monitor". But I'd definitely love if things moved in that direction.
Honestly if Apple wasn't so insistent on making the iPad not a general purpose computer I'd use that as my thin client.

Hang on, is Claude running on your phone/tablet and installing large dev dependencies right there? Or which parts of this stack are you replacing with termux?
Yeah, everything runs on the phone
Didn't vscode have a web browser version you could self host so where is the cursor version, anysphere?

#260Number 1 on the front page of Hacker News for explaining how to connect to a remote machine via ssh.
I too am dumfounded by this. Is it an off day? Have all the people that actually know how to do things with computers gone somewhere else? What is going on here?
It's all AI hype bro sycophants for the most part now. Oh, well.
