Comment on Is coding possible on smart phones ?

I’ve been coding on my Android for 6 years now. At first it was with a native java editor for my programming 1 homework but then I discovered proot-distro for termux that allows you to run Linux distros as containers on Android.
I have debian 13 on my Android and use scrcpy to screen cast a secondary screen on desktop mode. It can be a bit slow sometimes but for java, JavaScript and python it’s been alright. I know proot-distro can have issues with compiled languages like c and c++ but I haven’t used those there since the semester we used cpp it was for SIMD and arm doesn’t have the avx instructions.
There’s a guy on GitHub called droidmaster that has the scripts to setup proot Image

Can you suggest any special keypad for Android phones, for coding purposes ?

I’m using this mouse /keyboard combo buts it’s not very good, the mouse doesn’t like to share paired and the keyboard doesn’t have very good feedback Image Something like a k400 or a k480 from logi with a mouse would be better
