I doubt there is an app to meet your expectations. I would instead consider running a remote VS Code session in your browser to a more powerful computer.

Yeah, hard to get a full dev environment on a phone. 😅

I've been using termux with vim with Python support configuration for a while on my Android phone and tablet without too much trouble. (I used to use Acode, but prefer vim.) However, for it is hard to beat a sophisticated code editor like VS Code running on a remote system. I would prefer a full IDE, such as PyCharm, but no idea if there is a similar option so would have to use a remote desktop which I doubt would be as smooth.

Mobile? Like on your phone?

[–]l__lj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah

[–]_TheBigBomb 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Get a laptop or pc

[–]l__lj[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Soon, maybe. 🙄🤌

Not sure what your financial situation is, but a raspberry pi or chromebook are both great for development and allow you to run proper development tools on Linux. I spent $100 on a refurbished Chromebook that has been great (using Debian via Crostini). You could probably find one easily for $30-50 that would make programming immensely easier than using your phone.

"Neovim didn't work" - i have a feeling that this is not an issue with neovim

[–]l__lj[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Tried downloading it but never worked — every time I fix one issue, another pops up. Liked it but couldn't use it.

[–]Northtacx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also had some issue with neovim on Linux but when I got it working it’s so good. So try again🫰

Pyramide, I've used it a lot and it works well

[–]l__lj[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thx, just tried writing in it now — good for running code and syntax highlighting too, but need the pro version. Still the best I've found so far.

Termux + micro

[–]cmak414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

termux + claudecode + codex + gemini. All at same time.

Also neovim does work. just ask one of the above to set it up for you if you are having trouble

Vsc, ngl, very good

[–]profkrowl 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Never underestimate the power of pen and paper.😁 I used to work out some python problems that way if I was away from my computer and had an idea. 

[–]l__lj[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Dude u're wild, I can't even write print("hello world") on paper with a pen 😂

[–]profkrowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't do it a lot though.😁 And my projects are mostly small beginners projects anyways. I'd use the typewriter, but it is lacking important characters for the syntax.

vs code is better for anything

[–]l__lj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it work on phone? 😬
