I used to code NodeJS services on my phone quite a lot when I was commuting to an office. I used Termux - https://termux.dev/en/ https://termux.dev/en/. It was brilliant, and worked far better than you'd think it would. The main problem was the keyboard because the stock Android one doesn't support a lot of symbols. I solved that with https://github.com/klausw/hackerskeyboard https://github.com/klausw/hackerskeyboard.
- HPsquared 4y agoFolding Bluetooth keyboard, and a phone stand, turn a phone into a pretty decent terminal.
- bobbiechen 4y agoI used to use the Logitech K480 for this, which is a non-folding Bluetooth keyboard with integrated phone stand. Though it was as bulky as carrying a small tablet or laptop would've been, it was still convenient - at the time my only laptop was a 17" tank.
- tomjen3 4y agoAt that point you need a table, right? And you have essentially just reinvented the laptop.
- HPsquared 4y agoBasically unlike a laptop you don't need a bag, as the keyboard can fit in a pocket. Yes you need a table but the small folding tables trains etc are sufficient.
- a-saleh 4y agoFew months ago I took that one step further, I forgot my notebook at home, but realised I could just plug in my phone to the monitor (I have Samsung, and their Dex desktop think worked with our usb-c monitors) so I opened tmux and carried on with work :)
- ybc37 4y agoAnother keyboard for this use case is Unexpected Keyboard [1]. I opted for this one, because Hacker's Keyboard seems to be in maintenance mode (sure, not necessarily an issue, but see the warning in the readme [2]).
