I've done this before, just not with an iPad Pro. I used Blink (because of Mosh support), a Digitalocean droplet running docker and Dropbox for syncing local and remote files. Very similar approach to what's been mentioned in this article. Some of my experiences as a full-stack web developer: - Front-end development sucks. You can use Coda for iOS but it doesn't help much. What I was missing was Chrome's inspector. You can do some basic DOM manipulation and console logging via apps and firebug but it's not productive. - Manipulating image assets. I didn't use the official Dropbox client (I think at the time Linux support wasn't very good) I instead opted for a small script written in bash that talked to the Dropbox api. If there was an image that needed manipulating, I would push that image to a folder in Dropbox, which I could then open in Pixelmator in iOS. Pixelmator would update and sync to Dropbox and I'd run the bash script on the server to pull the updated file. - Browserstack didn't work on mobile Safari. I don't know if it does now but at the time, I couldn't get it working. - Lack of multi-tasking. Granted, iOS now supports split screen so maybe this isn't a big deal anymore. I'm ok with looking at one app at a time but app switching in iOS was horribly slow. This was over 2 years ago and things may be better now but overall as a full-stack web dev, I wouldn't recommend it. It was a frustrating experiment.
