except for the answers that boil down to "buy a $5 app."
this isn't about not being able to code on an iPad. that's easy and people having been doing it for about a decade.
this is just about some people still being mad that they don't get root on a machine they buy. I can understand being mad about that, but just say what you mean. don't pretend you can't code on it when people have been doing that basically since day one.
- irrational 4y agoWhat drives me nuts is there aren’t any good git integration apps that don’t require a subscription or have a high yearly price.
- mattkevan 4y agoCheck out Working Copy. No subscription, just an IAP unlock for the full version. And it’s really good.
- corobo 4y agoSeconding Working Copy, great for git related Shortcut automations too
- irrational 4y agoThanks! Look like the full version unlock is 20% off right now! Good timing!
- girvo 4y agoThirding Working Copy here, I've used it for yonks as a core part of my iPad workflow. That and Blink get me super far, and iPadOS 16 is going to get me even further now we have proper external screen support!
- irrational 4y agoWhat is Blink? I searched on App Store, but there are tons of apps with blink in the name.

- Sirened 4y agoI've just been using iSH. It has regular iOS file providers and you can just use regular ol git. No need for weird software you have to pay for, just permissive open source software all the way down :)
- usrn 4y agoNo. I've tried coding on these machines. All your tools must run in an interpreter so they're ridiculously slow and the thing gets uncomfortably hot and you can't look at anything else or the app will get closed. It's actually fucking terrible.

- meibo 4y agoWhen the code I write runs at 2% speed it would run natively at on my $2k machine, that's definitely not acceptable and not very useful, I've tried. If your workflow is compatible with that, that's great. If it's web/CI driven, I could imagine that working. Still not entirely sure what you actually do with it beyond light editing, even with your $5 apps.
- kaba0 4y agoI don’t miss root on my device, like having all-encompassing root access is not a goal worth pursuing from a modern security standpoint. But one should absolutely be able to install any app they deem worthy into the existing sand box environment, like put a huge ass scary banner saying it is dangerous and hide it 4 pages down in settings, but let me use my device as I deem fit.
