Use mosh with Blink. WorkingCopy, CodeHub, Textastic make it usable. A better keyboard like a small Logitech with esc key helps but you can remap keys in Blink.

I use an iPad to ssh to remote servers, works great. I mainly use a Chromebook because I need a real browser with developer tools, which is one big shortcoming with iOS. The other is clunky text selection, but that’s not an issue if you use vim or emacs over ssh.
- nextos 6y agoSo you think iPad's new keyboard is not worth it? Is Safari on iOS good enough for intensive browsing, and is the window manager fluent for context switching back and forth to Blink? I'm not a web developer so I don't need too many bells and whistles.
- gregjor 6y agoYes you can switch apps easily with a keystroke or swipe. I haven't used the new iPad keyboard. I have a Logitech K380, works great. I wrote up my experiences, a little dated now. This setup works for me still. http://typicalprogrammer.com/working-on-an-ipad-pro-as-my-main-computer http://typicalprogrammer.com/working-on-an-ipad-pro-as-my-ma...
