People say this, and then when you say “sure but one of my full screen apps is VS Code and another one is the Terminal, how do I get that on an iPad?” they go “Honestly sounds like you might want a Mac.”
- makeitdouble 5y agoI really hate how Apple shaped a whole new ecosystem that made it specially hard to run open source and unixy stuff. It feels like the Disney moment where a company thriving from an abundant shared resource turns around to poison the well to keep their lead. I love my iPad but really wish that’s not the future waiting for us.

- tumblewit 5y agoThere is now a web version of vscode and you can ssh into your environment.
- nlitened 5y agoYou can also connect iPad to your Mac as a second display, and put terminal there :)
- ascagnel_ 5y agoYou can get some stuff running on an iPad using iSH [0], but compatibility is iffy and performance even moreso. At one point, I tried bringing a RPi4 along with me to act as a mobile dev server (it'd serve an instance of VSCode over ethernet via a USB-C/ethernet adapter on the iPad, and the iPad would share its Wifi connection to the RPi), but it was clunky to bring two devices with me. Nowadays, I use Blink Shell [1] as a mosh terminal to a remote dev server. [0]: https://ish.app https://ish.app [1]: https://blink.sh https://blink.sh
