![]() It has fully functioning support for git, with built in code editing and diff viewing (including an image diff viewer). For that there is Working Copy (unlock all the features with an in-app-purchase). Sometimes, I don’t want to SSH anywhere, or I want to do some git work without internet access. Blink also supports MOSH, which I haven’t yet tried. Thank goodness because typing on a plane is RSI-inducing enough. Blink allows key remapping, meaning caps-lock is control and ` is Esc. While I love and support the folks over at Panic, my go to is Blink. This means that any work I do is waiting for me when I return from my trip, plus I have access to emacs, compilers, Unix, the office intranet… There are two very good apps for this: Panic’s Prompt and Blink. My preferred method is (1) SSH-ing back to my office desktop machine. Download source to the iPad and edit it directly.SSH into a remote machine (say, a desktop sitting back in your office).Coding on an iPad can happen in two ways: Heck, with Emacs and Org-mode, even writing, text editing, building a poster, making slides, etc. The technical aspects of my day job are coding. What even is the comiple command, pdflatex -some -flag? I don’t actually know the magical incantation. I’m a CLI person, but I still use MacTex’s provided TexShop GUI app to actually compile my tex files. The TeX/LaTeX suite is such a beast, with tons of packages, and archaic flags. If you need to do any TeX at all, get Texpad, it works. I already told my story of compiling slides at 30,000 feet and I cannot recommend Texpad enough. Some other fun apps, just to use the pencil: As a bonus, users of GoodNotes 4 (which I purchased back in 2016 when I first got my iPad) were given a free or subsidized upgrade to GoodNotes 5 when it was released earlier this year. It allows you to create different notebooks and comes equipped with great page templates. That said, I did give it a shot and found GoodNotes to be an absolutely stunning app. ![]() I often take handwritten notes, but digital notes just aren’t quite the same. I would consider the next generation iPad just for the Pencil magnets. I also have an Apple Pencil, but I don’t usually carry that with me. I also have the Apple keyboard cover (approximately 1 pound). The small screen means that it’s not great for multitasking / split-screen, but it’s usable when I need it. Of course, it all starts with an iPad.I have a 9.7-inch iPad Pro (generation 1), with 32 GB of space. Calculator with all the bells and whistles ![]()
