For web development this might work ok, although you mention git, and there is no (fully working) library for that.
- abyssknight 16y agoI'm thinking something like Coda for the iPad. I know there's a lot of flexibility lost, and for us hackers that seems too high a price to pay, but what about all the basic web editing, PHP, and Rails operations? Slap a virtual terminal or SSH client in there for kicks and we're golden. On a sidenote, having worked from a Linux dumb terminal for a year and a half, I understand the limitations this sort of thing can put on you. That said, my productivity was so high using those things because there were less distractions. There was no need to configure, reskin, play with the desktop -- it would just be reset. Got a lot more done in those days.
