Yes! Sit on any cramped commuter train and you'll see people reading and writing long form documents on their phones.
Take a look in your favourite app store and you'll see millions of downloads of office editing apps.
For coding, I usually SSH into something from my phone and make edits that way. But I've certainly edited HTML and then pushed it via sFTP from my phone.
- mirimir 9y agoI don't commute anymore, so mostly what I see are people everywhere, walking around, and looking at their phones. I get that modern phones are more powerful than old laptops. And I get that there are many ways to use remote servers. But, even with the larger phones, the screen is smaller than typical editing windows. Except, I realize, the one I'm typing in now :) But it's the limitation in keyboard size that puzzles me. I know that there are portable keyboards. And devices that project virtual keyboards on surfaces. But I'm guessing that most people are typing on screens, and using voice input. So how can that actually work? That is, be efficient enough to bother with?
