Love the idea - been really interested in this for the past few years. I suspect that to make a touchscreen mobile device more productive than a laptop is going to require a completely new interface (goodbye qwerty keyboard). Curious to hear your thoughts on the future of coding! 🤔
@sebfeed Thanks! As to your question, I still believe that a qwerty keyboard will be necessary (at least until programing stays in its current form) but, the devices we have in our hands are more powerful (or at least as powerful) than the majority of desktop/laptops out there and that is a waste. A waste of computing power and a waste of pocket space (you have to bring a tablet and laptop on a trip!?). It is not an easy task, and that's why no one has done it (successfully) yet. But we believe we are on the right track. In any case would love your feedback.
@ivanburazin interesting, thanks for sharing. I find it hard to believe that the 1920s qwerty is optimal, definitely expect a radical change in how we communicate instructions to machines 😜 another interesting thing is availability of cloud computing, there's definitely a possibility to integrate AWS into mobile IDEs. I'd love to try your app, but I have an iPhone 😵😵😵
@sebfeed I agree that the qwerty is not optimal, but changing that is a bigger job than creating an Moble IDE :) It will come to this and when it does we will be there too. But our plan is to first make the Mobile IDE work at all :D Once we fix all the "dents" in the Android we will roll out the iOS as well.
i LOVE codeanywhere and use it ALL the time. its what lets me do 95% of my web design business on a chromebook. the ONE thing its missing over programs like Notepadd++ is a "search in files" function - it has something similar but doesn't work to find all instances of a string in a bunch of files. but seriously this thing does so much - coding through FTP, sandbox internal servers with custom subdomain names, custom server images to spin up custom stacks or custom installs in seconds, digital ocean integration.. just everything
