Ask HN: Going offline 15 days with an iPad. How to code?
11 points by sylvinus on July 27, 2011 | hide | past | favorite | 7 comments
Carrying only an iPad and maybe a Bluetooth keyboard. I've found http://textasticapp.com but I'm really missing git integration. So I've put a couple repositories on Dropbox. Any advice on a better setup for doing some simple webdev work?


A big breath at 6000 feets is perfect to come back fresh & ready for work. Forget about the ipads & bluetooth keyboards, but take your icebreaker sweat-shirt, you'll need it this time!


Jailbreak it and then you can have iFile, git, php, ruby, vim, lighttpd ... You do need an SSH client to get into the shell. I use iSSH.

I use this setup to code in CoffeeScript offline on the train.



Remote into your laptop/desktop with the iSSH app!


That would be nice however I'll be offline 99% of the time!


Pen and paper (or iPad equivalent)?


Use the iPad app Koders?
