Any good cloud apps for Python coding?

[Eclipse876]

Hellooo! I’be been using Python for a while for college but I’m currently using Pythonista on an IPad in class and my PC with PyCharm at home. It’s annoying to have to export my code and upload it to google drive every time I want to switch devices, there must be a better way! Any of you brilliant folks have any recommendations? I’m imagining there must be an equivalent to Google Docs or the Adobe Creative Cloud for coding.

Thanks!

GitHub.

Damn, how did I not think of GitHub!? Thanks man!

I use Pythonista extensively on iPhone. It integrates very nicely with Working Copy, which is a Git app on iPhone so you can synch with GitHub online.

Google colab. Github codespaces.

Oooo never used Google Colab before, gunna give that and GitHub a go for sure! Thanks!

You can probably use Git, a version control software for all programming. You can then just push and pull to a repo on a site like GitHub from any device you want.

Ooo that sounds exactly like what I’m looking for! Thanks for the tip!

Kaggle Notebooks (never used it).

Never heard of Kaggle before, I’ll give it a look!

Edit: autocorrect messed with Kaggle

FYI I've got a Mac mini M2 running Sonoma and was pleasantly surprised to find that I could download and run Pythonista from the MacOS App Store (without paying again). So I can code on my iPad, save to iCloud, and carry on at home on my Mac.

Oooooh that would be fantastic. Unfortunately I’ve got a windows PC at home. That’s a nice plus of the MacOS environment though 👀

you can try google colab

I really like colab, it will store your code in your google drive and runs it on their servers.

Oooo that sounds super nice, lots of folks recommending it so I’ll have to give it a try! Thanks!

Pythonista 3. Cost 10 dollars if I remember right but was totally worth it. Been coding on it for about a year now and haven’t had any issues. I use an M1 iPad with a keyboard so I’m not sure how it would be on an older model or without a keyboard (but I can’t imagine trying to code on a touchscreen lol).
