I know, I know, but haven’t you wanted to jot down some pseudocode while out and about, formatted neatly, so you could pop it over to your main machine to turn into working code?

Then probably Pydroid 3, as it supports TK, Kivy etc. If you actually want to compile and run various languages you could use Termux, as it basically exposes the fully fledged Linux machine better known as your Android.

Thanks! I’ll have to give it a look! I currently have Termux, but was wondering about others, although maybe I should have asked for Termux packages instead. 😅

I tried Micro briefly but its interface doesn’t seem to have been as well adjusted for mobile.

I mean yeah but not anywhere near badly enough to be willing to deal with a phone keyboard…

Whatever notetaking app you use? If it’s just jotting down some things I came up with on the go it won’t be anything I need a whole ass IDE for, and I don’t think I do anything like that often enough to need even a lightweight plaintext editor for that. I guess you could try use vim with termux, sounds like a pain in the arse with a phone keyboard though…

To be honest, Ed.

When I’m forced to edit text on my phone (eg. to fix a broken server while on the go), I ssh in and fire up ed. This is what takes the less screen space on my already to small screen, and because it’s line oriented the screen doesn’t bounce/resize/screw up when the keyboard appears/disappear.

It is the standard text editor after all.

Did you tweak the OS somehow or did you setup the webserver fully on stock Android?
