Junior developer, mostly web. I work with Java, Spring, Javascript, React, CSS and a little Rust on the side. Webdev is my preferred domain and I'm interested in technologies that push it forward.
While commuting you can read books, open source code, listen to podcasts or listen to courses
Which often brings up ideas and makes me want to get some code down. There's no reason it has to be frustrating and slow. Nobody has done any work to make a decent experience there. Virtual keyboards have come a long way, but only by optimizing for casual typing.
Instead of getting code down, it's most important to get the flow of the algorithm down. You can and should write code in your dev environmental, not your phone.
A common misconception is that code comes first... Algorithms come first. I would recommend any organizational manager or notepad for this. Get your algorithms down, determine your data structure, but until you're at your setup it's not very productive to write code on a smartphone. Algorithm and Data management is best done here.
Any text editor will work, but Mindly is a great app for linking ideas, and project management. Though it isn't designed for writing algorithms, it's nested interface makes it great for that purpose.
If you're set on writing code on your phone (again, I'll say IMO you can better use this time preparing for writing code), your best bet is writing an app that uses gesture commands to create classes, methods, etc.
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.

Yes, you can build the code in your head, and when at a PC is just a matter of typing.
Or you can buy a 13" laptop ..
You say to me that ship is good, submarine is not necessary.
