Coding on Your Smartphone with Vim [video]

Hi HN, I've spent some time working on this PoC that allows one to (kind of) code on smartphone using Vim. I am sharing a video demo here to see what others think of it.

It is based on my other similar project swell.sh [0], that you run a HTTP server process (written in Python) on a server and connect to it from your smartphone's browser (Chrome/Safari). Then you will see Vim in the Web-based terminal (using xterm.js) in the above and can interact with Vim using the virtual keyboard specifically built for the App below (it is part of the page's UI, not your OS's keyboard app). The python process in the backend is able to provide the completion information gathered from Vim (I used the TabNine completion engine [1] in the video but I believe any Vim plugin that provides completion would work) to the front-end, where you could choose from the keyboard's autocomplete suggestion row, thus greatly reduce the required number of 'taps' on the keyboard for inputting code.

Obviously it's not going to replace your desktop/laptop for serious programming work, but what do you think about the idea? Any feedback/thought is welcome.
