I’ve found an iPad Pro to be perfectly acceptable for web development.
Working Copy is an excellent git client, and combining it with Textastic proved a good workflow. Textastic allows you to add any folder, including a Working Copy repo, as a source in the file browser, so no more swapping files between apps.
Using this, I built my personal portfolio site with Jekyll while commuting on the tube.
Other apps are available: DraftCode provides a full PHP/MySQL stack, I got Django running on Pythonista, found iSh could run Bundler and Jekyll and got a long way towards getting Rails working. Also Processing runs, well, Processing. Play.js does react and Node and Continuous does .NET and C#.
There are also Vim and Emacs apps, though I don’t know how good they are.
- mark_l_watson 8y agoThanks for mentioning that you got Django running on Pythonista. I just spent a few minutes web searching and fiddling and now I have a small Flask web app running on my iPad using Pythonista. There is no hot reload, so if I change code I need to restart the Flask app and then refresh the web page on Safari. I had no idea this was possible, or that there was anything like StaSh.
