Yeah, they mention your suggestion (remote machine to run the compiler(s) and debugger) in the post, and it sounds like it was too cumbersome to make sense to build a product around. I personally suspect that if they kept at it, it could've eventually built an audience... but I can imagine the cost of developing and maintaining that exceeding any potential profit from selling copies to iOS users.
- atonse 6y agoI would love this and even pay a monthly fee for this. There is a company doing this but they do the container piece. forgot their name. If we could seamlessly pair that with VS code Remote on the iPad (or macOS) I’d try to move our developers to it to keep all sensitive customer data totally off our laptops for good.
- hinkley 6y agoThis is the sort of feature that you build for one purpose and then leverage for something bigger. We do this all the time - in the small - with refactoring. Jetbrains has plenty of code for remote debugging and such, and other IDEs have language server support. Leveraging existing tech like this to then sell a tablet app that is basically a control panel? I could see that making it through design committees. But writing it from scratch just for tablet? That’s a hard sell.
