Coding on the go?
i've been thinking about getting some coding on my projects done during my free periods at school since there isn't really anything to do there. Do you happen to have some kind of recommendations?
Would love something that could run an asp.net core project (as in build, serve a view, 2 minutes max)
It might come off as wishful thinking, but who knows, maybe there's some way
I've heard and used replit.com for colaborating on code, but only know of it supporting console projects
I've also tried to use termux on my old tablet, however it seems that it's too old to handle such workload, as running takes hours to proceed. (Althought i did manage to host locally a vscode server)
seen Google Compute Engine however i do not have a lot of information about it an the pricing

As much as i would love to be able to simply go off with that solution. I do not believe I currently am. That's why I am mainly looking for some web based solutions (maybe hosting on github, seen some people do that), however do you mean I should take your reply as it being not realy viable nowadays?
I mean, the possibilities are there. Github Codespaces, or even buying some cheap Linux VPS and SSHing into it
The issue is ergonomics. I tried programming on my phone. An overall shitty experience, I assure you
Maybe a tablet with a USB keyboard would work
But that's just a small 2-in-1 with extra steps

Thank you for mentioning GitHub code spaces, although i do not have access to them i managed to stumbled upon something called gitpod which seems to be a good alternative ❤️
Ye, going on an old family tablet with a wired keyboard
You can tell i got tired of pointless midday periods

I think Jetbrains also has some remote devboxes under their Spaces thing

Yup, have used that as mentioned briefly above. Did not really think about hosting it on my pc due to the power requirements etc., thought it wouldn't really be worth it
however it did remind me that i do have a raspberry pi 3b i believe in my closed laying unused so might try it as to not both host vscode server and use it on the same tablet
(funnily enough, havent checked indepth but i think that the pi has better gears than my tablet XD Acer Ionia One 10)
