I've been coding on Android for a few months, mostly while walking around outside or showering. I'm on a mix of Tailscale + Termux + ssh server + tmux + codex CLI, Tailscale is great.
I think you may be able to optimize your workflow more by drafting your prompt in ChatGPT first; get it to expand out the intent for you. Doing that has made phone coding a lot more tolerable for me.
I like to think that I've given phone coding a fair shot (and I continue to do it), but I agree with the other poster that there's something about the lack of a keyboard that really gets to me :) I wish I knew what it was.
I was thinking about this, don't you think having everything in a terminal on a phone screen is a bit clunky to type in? Ideally I'd want it to be a clone of the official iOS apps from these AI companies with good mobile features like copy paste, smooth scroll, etc. Looks like the article's ChatGPT Codex functionality is in Android as well.
