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.

Blink Shell also now has Code Server built-in https://docs.blink.sh/advanced/code

It’s not Code-Server, but actual VSCode with additional fixes for mobile backed in inside Blink itself. Which is extremely awesome, having this in mind you can connect to variety of services to start coding on the fly(Codespaces, Gitpod, etc.) without thinking about setting up VPS.

Here’s more on that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCbhbCWA_G4

The VScode in Blink is editor-only, essentially what you get from https://vscode.dev.

To actually compile/execute you'll need to connect it to something like Codespaces or code-server.

Using Blink shell VSCode connected to a remote VM (for a working terminal) is quirky but absolutely amazing nonetheless

GitHub Codespaces works decently well on an iPad as well. I had to send in my MacBook for a repair that took and week and I managed to use the iPad with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse fairly successfully. It was a web project, so that helped.

what tools did you use to set up that port routing thing? that sounds endlessly useful
