![]() I personally like Termius slightly better, especially because I like its tabbed interface for multiple connections. Both of them support Mosh protocol, but Termius also has non-Mosh keep-alive implementation. Termius or Blink Shell as a shell client.You can use any server, but I personally grabbed a $10/mo DigitalOcean droplet (2 GB RAM / 1 CPU, 50 GB SSD disk 2 TB transfer) After all iPad is still a mobile device with extremely sand-boxed access so yes - you do need this, if you need full flexibility and are doing something advanced. This is where your code will actually execute. Mobile internet connectivity with its instability and low bandwidth is still very usable for the setup, since it does not use much bandwidth and is resilient to intermittent connectivity. An LTE version is highly recommended so you are not at the mercy of finding a nearby Wi-Fi. Spoiler alert: it worked and the result is surprisingly workable/awesome/pleasant. So instead of enjoying a cheesy crime novel on a Kindle, the pool-side time was re-purposed for turning an iPad into a coding beast machine. And that’s when temptation descended… Having found a tiny bug in one of my open-source projects – an event store implemented in Go I suddenly felt huge urge to figure the setup out. Determined to take a break, I consciously left a laptop behind and only grabbed iPad with me. Things for me got real on a recent vacation. At this point, most things you need, for work or leisure, can be done on an iPad (especially if your work uses Google Suite for office productivity), but what if you need to write some non-trivial code and have nothing but an iPad with you? If you travel for work a lot, you will understand how tempting it is to just grab your iPad and leave a bulky laptop behind. I have been contemplating to find an answer to this question, for a while and have been itching to test-drive a user-friendly solution. To make the experience pleasant I also need coding to not happen in a browser and/or require high-bandwidth/low latency internet connection (not a reality on the go, yet). ![]() Using iPad Pro as an everyday computing device is very tempting, but can it replace substitute your laptop if you are doing some serious coding? For me “serious” coding involves writing containerized microservices and APIs, in a variety of programming languages. There is a lot to love about the current iPad Pro - super-fast CPU, beautiful screen, a keyboard that doesn’t need to be charged separately, long battery life and wide selection of apps.
