Hi HN, I’m building MobileCode, an open-source fork of opencode focused on mobile development: https://github.com/hsandhu/mobilecode MobileCode detects iOS and Android projects, starts the appropriate simulator or emulator preview server, and renders the live device beside your coding session. For iOS, it detects Xcode projects, workspaces, CocoaPods, and Expo apps. It uses serve-sim to stream the iOS Simulator. For Android, it detects Gradle projects. It uses serve-avd to stream the Android Emulator.

Under the hood, iOS builds use xcodebuild, simctl install, and simctl launch. Android builds use the project’s Gradle wrapper, adb install, and an explicit launch intent. The device operations are also exposed through an HTTP API.

Noise isolation might be enough, given I’m working from home. I do want headphones that would versatile in listening to music and taking zoom calls from a MacBook. I’ve also heard of the MX4, but looking at the Microsoft Surface 2 headphones as well.

Small instance (64-bit is available now) for ~ $25/month - including elastic ip - ebs

Moved from Slicehost (after they were acquired by Rackspace) to EC2. Check out the reserved instances offered by Amazon for EC2, this brought the cost down to compete with the Linode and Slicehost but with a more powerful machine on EC2.

I found the CPU time for micro instances to be sparse and unreliable to host an API for example.

textmate should be on this list

In 5 years? Well that is an eternity in the mobile space and you are probably right, there is likely going to be a shift to a standard approach to app (web or native) development. What if a virtual machine such as the JVM existed for both Android and iOS was standard/consistent enough to write cross platform apps?

This topic is very popular amongst hackers lately. I find the web developers in particular resist the native app trend, to avoid Objective-C (iOS) and Java (Android). Typical web developer lives in Javascript and a chosen high level language (Ruby, Python) on the server side.

Right, but the desktop web apps typically did not require any access to hardware devices such as the webcam. If they did, Flash solved that problem and we all know what direction that model is heading into.

Mobile apps are interesting because of the access to GPS, camera, accelerometer etc. Until all hardware is accessible through HTML5 providing an excellent UX, the app trend will continue in my view.
