I run the set up from that article sometimes, which depends mostly on an app to connect to a VPS and running a Docker container with all your tooling there. In the end, that's all there is to it; Blink is a nice terminal app, and you're using it to do the actual work on a linux machine elsewhere.
By the way, I use the the standard wireless magic keyboard instead of the smart keyboard. It has an escape key, which is great for vim, and for me it feels better to type on being a ‘real’ keyboard with some travel and clicky keys.
- n_parks 9y agoThanks for sharing this article. This is exactly what comes to mind for me. I recently came back to this to see if I could set up an old iPad with this setup to see if it would be valuable to buy the iPad Pro. Amazing how much you are limited without multitasking (as is the case with the old iPads).
