How about editors for mobile devices? I know it’s not practical to code on an iPhone, for example. However, when an idea comes to mind, it would be great to work on it “on the go”. Thoughts?
I share this vision and the step from cloud to mobile devices is a very small step. With Codesphere coding on your iPad will be fantastic, iPhone at the beginning not very beautiful but at some point also a great experience. This is another advantage of a browser / cloud-based solution.
I love creating! It started with Lego as a little kid. Later I went on with (dis)assembling my first computer in the early 2000s. Then came the internet... Working remotely for 8 years :-)
I doubt that you will have great ideas for specific lines of code on the go. If I have a really cool idea (code related) on the go, then that is always just a concept or an idea, never specific lines of code --which I record as an audio message or I write a message to myself.
Is this an "it sounds great in my imagination" idea, or do you have actual data that shows, that people would actually use coding on a phone?
I remember having a code editor and even an SSH client on my phone years ago --I never (!) used it for real.
I get your point and don't see real, complex coding on an iphone. I give you that. But 2 points: First it has a value for many developers to have at least access to their full code on a phone and there is room for improvement from the code editor you have had years ago. Secondly a tablet is also a mobile device and it can be very convenient for 'remote' coding. Speaking about mobile devices we should not focus on phones first, don't you think?

Oh yeah, absolutely. Leaving some notes and comments or may be even drafting some algorithms would be great on an iPhone. I think it's also great for code review and collaboration, e.g. when someone asks you to check out their uncommitted code.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

We optimize for tablet's, laptops etc. first - BUT we also love to review, double check, and minifix things on the go. Why not :)
Personally, especially with these foldable phones and 5G, I dream of this already for a long time :D

I admit, coding on a tablet sounds interesting. My phone would be too small for me, to even see enough though.
