I use an iPad Air for light webdev work. Built my personal website with it, using a few handy apps.
Working Copy is an excellent Git client and pretty good text editor, Shellfish is great for FTP/SFTP.
Other good editors include Buffer and Textastic. Terminus is a great terminal client (though the pro edition is pricey).
Pythonista is a surprisingly powerful Python environment – with a bit of work I got Django working on it. Codea is the same for Lua. DraftCode is good for PHP, though more limited. Can run Wordpress and other PHP CMSs. There's other apps for JS/Node.
Inspect gives on-device browser developer tools. Not the best but still useful.
Plus, there's iSH, a Testflight-only app that provides a mostly complete Alpine Linux environment. Managed to get Git/Ruby/Jekyll running on it to develop a site locally, though it was slow.
- robenkleene 7y agoHave you written about these workflows anywhere? If so, I’d be interested in the links. This sounds like by far the most sophisticated iPad development workflow I’ve ever heard of anyone using.
