FYI - you can host this yourself in a docker container using https://github.com/cdr/code-server .

I recently set this up on a server running from my home (only accessible via WireGuard) precisely so I can code anywhere from my iPhone. Combined with a folding bluetooth keyboard (because typing code on an iPhone screen is terrible), it's turning out to be a pretty useful portable dev environment.

I went the same route but it was too buggy and slow for me, I found screen sharing to be better using Jump Desktop.

Did you try using iOS 13? I noticed a serious improvement with its new version of Safari compared to past releases.

My experience has been the opposite; it's significantly faster than any screen sharing I've ever used, and I've not encountered any bugs so far. I suppose there are a lot of factors at play (connection speed, server specs, phone specs, etc), so YMMV.
