iPads are useless for developers. When working I just use mine as a 3rd monitor for Slack, Notion, Linear, Grafana, or whatever I want to keep an eye on.
iPads are amazing for other things though:
- they're the best platform to read comics or mangas
- they're great to learn/play piano with dynamic sheets
- they're great for games (Balatro on iPad is top tier), and basically anything where tactile is good as an input control (GarageBand is nice to use on iPad)
- they're great for travel
You can do many things with an iPad, developing is not one of them.
- kasey_junk 2y agoI use an iPad for all of my personal development work (except futzing with fpga). Plugged into my keyboard & monitor I can use one of several “codespaces” solutions and if I’m traveling it’s a better screen than a phone. I can’t use it for work admittedly but that’s mostly about corporate control of my device, not capability.
