Termux is an incredible project. Could not believe it the first time. You can even run a web server etc.
One challenge is to evolve the terminal / text paradigm so that useful tinkering becomes possible/confortable on the smaller mobile devices. It doesn't help that these devices are being reduced to optimizing finger swipping ("software" keyboards etc.) and little else.
And of-course who knows where it would lead if it was actually a first class member of the OS...
- cb321 2y agoYou both probably already know this, but just in case you (or some onlooker) don't, termux lets you run an sshd. So, for those stints > a quarter hour, you may be able to actually "log in" to your phone over wifi from a more comfortable environment such as a laptop/desktop (if you are near one, anyway).
