I guess your search is somehow limited, https://developer.apple.com/swift-playgrounds https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pythonista-3/id1085978097 https://codea.io/ https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/continuous-net-c-and-f-ide/id1...
I've never used those. Can you write and release the code for anyone to modify/install and run on their iPhones without Apples approval? Because if so, that's great.

That's a bit surprising actually. The play store kinda sucks but I generally can find more flexible apps on there than iOS store. I see a lot of people run an SSH client to a server in order to edit and run code. Is that an option for you?
There's ssh clients on iOS as well. There's termux which is a linux userland compiled for Android, more or less. I vaguely remember some play store policy issues with that. Last time I tried it I couldn't install anything as they were out of CDN quota for the packages.

Problem: don’t want to bring thing that must be attached to a keyboard at all times to be useful. Solution: iPad.
That's a terrible causal relation. Run a KT decision analysis. The iPad will never come out as the device you actually end up writing code on if you're honest with yourself.
I've been looking for a good code editor for my phone for a very long time already. This looks supernice, but I have an Android smartphone... Can anyone recommend a good IDE that runs on an Android phone?

As a person who codes on MacBooks and iPads and also uses them for fun.. You’re missing the segment of people who are traveling and don’t want to take their entire MacBook places. Even if it’s smaller, I can’t simply detach it’s screen and hold it to watch Netflix or such. I often take on the extra size an iPad may have for size versatility down the road. One doesn’t always have or want to figure out a flat surface t…

Even if it’s smaller, I can’t simply detach it’s screen and hold it to watch Netflix or such. This is the solution being applied before the problem again. It is a case of applying compromises to fit the solution into the available device rather than look at the problem and choose a device suitable for it. I tr…
To each their own I guess.
> I prefer not to shit or wash where I compute :). As for the surfaces, the iPad is the least flexible device. At worst you have to hold it constantly which is painful after an hour or so.
11in iPad isn't that heavy, I use it for hours on end this way. Don't skip arm day?
> Having used Swift Playground extensively, I think you must be living in the future where they fixed all the show stopping bugs and crashes. It's totally unusable for me and doesn't meet even a minimum bar for quality.
Maybe try the new version? I don't know what to tell you. It works great for my primary work which is in SwiftUI and app development.
> It's definitely quicker to type. But it's quicker to draw than type if the scenario isn't suited to textual description.
Never in that scenario personally.

It's almost like personal devices are used in personal ways and your weird application of "logic" to peoples decision making processes differs from how others think.
I appreciate the effort that goes into these products but I find the market position weird. Case in point: by the time I add a keyboard case to my 11" iPad Pro, it weighs more than my MacBook Air does and it's not a lot smaller. I think I should just take the MacBook Air with me. That has the same CPU, storage and memory and I can run full stack on it fine. That is not to denigrate the usefulness of the iPad, which I…
+ Excellent mini-LED screen (some bad ‘blooming’ effects though)
+ It’s highly portable without the keyboard
+ It’s great for weird locations, like watching something in the bath, or while cooking
+ Enables me to easily sign and fill forms without printing
I am disappointed by the offerings for note taking with the pencil. I’m nearly through with a civil engineering degree and have had the iPad for 2 semesters. I thought this thing would be super handy for marking up plans, highlighting in textbooks, making hand-written notes in class… nope. I’ll read a pdf on it every now and then, but I find all of the other tasks too cumbersome to repeatedly perform on the iPad.
Notes are annoyingly stored inside apps (goodnotes) until you manually export them. Goodnotes itself is not very ‘good’ either. It’s clunky and turns the device into a space heater. I cannot find a pdf/note-taking app that:
+ Doesn’t have intrusive menu bars that are permanently on
+ Has sane keyboard shortcuts
+ Can edit/markup pdfs in-place without ‘importing’ them
+ Has a smooth drawing feature. (Goodnotes is smooth. Apple default is crap)
+ Has drawing tools that are more than just making squares and circles
+ Has good support for equations and scientific notation (OCR or other interaction).
Have any other science or engineering students found anything better than goodnotes or notability?
Another option people may want to consider is hosting a version of Code Server[1]. I do this with my iPad Pro and it has been incredibly convenient. I even have it configured so that ports can be routed to via my domain, meaning I can do web development with a local server on port 3000 and view it live at 3000.my.domain.tld. 1: https://github.com/coder/code-server

What I see a lot at airports is: people traveling with ALL of the following: - mobile phone - iPad - Laptop So each time another smaller device gets invented people just _add_ it instead of the smaller devices replacing the bigger ones. So despite all the technical integration, the weight of people's hand luggage (gadgets + adaptors) actually goes up, not down!
