This 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.

#52The iPad is no good for any kind of authoring. I own one, love it but can hardly make myself even type a 3 sentence email on it, let alone code.
I'm afraid you've waisted a year.

#54Poor you, it is obvious that one needs a real keyboard to code, any touchscreen just won't let you type quick enough. The iPad is no good for any kind of authoring. I own one, love it but can hardly make myself even type a 3 sentence email on it, let alone code. I'm afraid you've waisted a year.

#58Hi 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.

#59While I applaud the effort, I do not understand the motivation. When I want to develop something, I use a desktop or a notebook, and I'm never away from one long enough that I would have no choice but to work on a mobile device.
