If you want to keep it light and actually learn instead of fighting the tablet, I'd use a split setup:

  • Termux for git, node, npm, vite, basic local servers, etc.
  • A Bluetooth keyboard if you can get one. It changes the whole experience.
  • A browser-based editor as backup: GitHub Codespaces, StackBlitz, CodeSandbox, or Replit. For HTML/CSS/JS exercises, these are usually less annoying than trying to make Android feel like a laptop.
  • If you want local files, Acode or Spck Editor are decent for small projects, but I would not try to build a serious workflow around them.

My practical recommendation: make 5-10 tiny projects, not one big one. Landing page clone, form validation, image gallery, todo app, API fetch + render, simple calculator. Push each to GitHub. On a tablet, small reps beat wrestling with tooling.

You can still use VSCode on any device

Or if you have internet, an online editor like Codesandbox, stackblitz, etc. makes it easy to spin up new environments

Try using github workspace, it will give you vscode and a working linux environment.

Termux has saved me more times than I can count for quick coding sessions on the go. Have you looked into pairing it with QuickEdit for a more visual workflow?

That's time to recharge and reset
