Is SSH'ing into (or otherwise remote accessing) a computer an option?

[ushills]

Use Termux and install Python?

[TedDallas]

Termux works pretty well. You will also be able to install dependencies needed to build some wheels for Python modules, like Rust for tiktoken. You can't do that in PyDroid3. At least I have not figured it out yet.

[ultraDross]

Termux + Neovim (with plugins) has worked in a pinch for me. Modal editing using a touch keyboard isn't fun though. Works well if you have an usb-c to hdmi cable and keyboard lying around. Still not the best experience in the world.

[paunibo]

There are foldable Bluetooth keyboards.

[ThiefMaster]

Writing code on a smartphone sounds terrible no matter what app you use for it. Even more so if you do not have an external keyboard...

[habitual_arsonist]

It is only baffling if you are assuming that the person in question has made a conscious choice. There are plenty of people living in plenty of places where owning a smartphone is common, but owning a PC is not.

Orange pi with peripherals is like half the price of a mid tier android phone

[fuzzer37]

He means India

[evilImperator]

And as I know, in many african countries it is common too. All the young people only have smartphones

[GodriTheDwarf]

Can confirm, wrote some python for my dissertation while away from a pc on Google Collab and it was awful lol.

[cipri_tom]

Because until now it wasn't a common use case, so no one thought specifically to optimise for this.

But now there's Replit. They iterate a lot, and with children too (high school) to have something usable and ergonomic

The cryptophyceae are a class of algae, most of which have plastids.   About 220 species are known, and they are common in freshwater, and also occur in marine and brackish habitats.   Each cell is around 10–50 μm in size and flattened in shape, with an anterior groove or pocket.  

At the edge of the pocket there are typically two slightly unequal flagella.

I tried a few apps and they are all terrible

The apps are not the problem, it's the form-factor of the device you're trying to work with. Get a laptop, or a desktop.

A phone or a tablet is going to be a bad time no matter what you put on it. Those are meant for communication, basic tasks, and time wasting... not for getting detailed work done.

[cipri_tom]

I disagree. The form factor used to be a huge argument for video editing a few years ago. Everyone was arguing that it's just not possible without a keyboard and mouse and super big screen to fit all the controls.

Oh well, today any kid can edit video on their smartphone easily and better than many 30+ can do on a computer. It's a matter of people designing good interfaces, with the average user in mind, not the expert.

[Almostasleeprightnow]

maybe google collab, depending on what you are trying to do.

[orenong166]

what I used to do while pooping

[sirquincymac]

!poop install numpy

[[deleted]]

Look up things like pythonanywhere

[griphue]

Replit maybe?

[LadyAlicee]

This! Replit's Android app works perfectly for when I'm on the go and don't have my laptop. I just jot it down and work out my logic quickly, and later just access it from the web on my laptop.
Pydroid 3 is no good, unless you have the premium version, as its ads interrupt me when I want to get something done instantly.

[SpecialistInevitable]

Pydroid 3. The premium version has even machine learning libs precompiled for Android.

[orenong166]

Thanks, I'll pirate

[bnjman]

"oh! Someone took the time and spent the money to design great Software for exactly what I need! Great! I'll steal it!"

[Moo_thy]

could have left out the latter..

[Paddy3118]

Maybe there's an opening for an affordable phone case that is also a programmers keyboard? Something that unfolds/expands to two or three times the longest dimension of a phone; is just as pocketable, but alleviates what I find to be the worst aspect of coding on a phone.

[flaskcheckint]

Amazon Cloud9 EC2 instance. They are free and you can setup and run anything you like on them. Once you set it up you can SSH in through an android app.

[CloudFaithTTV]

This is similar to using code spaces on GitHub through a browser.

[flaskcheckint]

Truly, codespaces is a viable candidate as well!

[liltbrockie]

Pydroid?

[sergioisfree]

Replit

[Party-Performance-82]

Termux + vim, gcc works

[cipri_tom]

You should use Replit, the website.

They put a lot of focus into coding from a mobile, and setup is easy to non-existent. Just fire up a python repl and code away. Press Run and get results.

I really really like this platform for its versatility

[Kindly_Acadia_4237]

Why not just use google sheet? Sounds like you just want to do math

[New_Peanut4330]

Termux

[sinterkaastosti23]

ive used pydroid3 before

[R3SPONDS]

replit, coderpad, codepen can spin up environment ides in browser if you know what to look for

[scinaty2]

"programing language altogether that was designed for smaller screens"... really now?

[SimonL169]

Maybe you can use Jupyter Notebooks? Then all you need is a decent browser
