This is something I've wanted to do, so let me share the random ideas I had:
- Horizontal space is at a premium, so don't show line numbers. When scrolling, show the line numbers hovering over the lines (so I can find my spot in a long file if I need to), but I don't need to see them while actually editing a line.
- The big win on the iPhone is not so much writing as reading. Make it easy to download a GitHub repo of source I might want to read on my commute. And make it easy for a project to link to that. Then I can get familiar with the coding style and abilities of, say, backbone.js or some other new javascript thing, while standing on the Metro.
- cryptoz 16y agoDoes the iPhone provide a way to download files like that? I'm running an older model (3G) so maybe that limitation is gone, but it's something that I find very lacking. Wow, though, being able to comfortably read js libraries - and write small tests, even - on a phone would be fantastic.
- semanticist 16y agoiPhone Safari supports local storage and local SQLite databases. You could force some sort of offline access into it. There's no access to the filesystem in iOS Safari, no uploading or downloading files.
- binarymax 16y agoI've been mulling to do one as well, another idea is arrow keys to move the cursor about instead of trying to touch where you want it.
- blackmac 16y agoImplementing good scrolling with textareas not reacting to touch events is kind of hard. I will implement import of external files though, maybe not complete repos in the first step though
