Turn down the millennialspeak just a bit...

I watched the demo, and it doesn't mention how this product scales. Who exactly is the audience here? What kind of services do you envision being built with Aista?

I've been looking for some way to code on my phone while I slack around away from my computer. So far the only thing working for me was CodeSandbox, but even it is very clunky and buggy.

Bluetooth keyboard and ssh client of your choice. Leave your work computer at home and ssh into it from anywhere. It works best for Vim enthusiasts, but nano is just as good.

I used to code NodeJS services on my phone quite a lot when I was commuting to an office. I used Termux - https://termux.dev/en/. It was brilliant, and worked far better than you'd think it would. The main problem was the keyboard because the stock Android one doesn't support a lot of symbols. I solved that with https://github.com/klausw/hackerskeyboard.

Sounds like you're a boomer! /s

I had the exact same question. I don't see myself coding from my phone, because typing on a on-screen keyboard is just awful.
