I'm using Cloud9 and Bitbucket. I was thinking just the other day how I would love to ditch my main rig for an iPad. Researching this some it looks like Duet or Puffin Browser gets Cloud9 mostly working.



I do use Duet, but it's just an app to make an iPad a second monitor, it doesn't allow me to take it with me and leave my Mac at home.

I'm not really understanding why anyone would build a web IDE in 2017 without iPad support. Web IDEs targeting x86 platforms are already plentiful and mature, and people on x86 platforms tend to ignore them for more traditional desktop IDEs because their computer can already run all of the code or containers they might need. But those don't really exist on an iPad, which I'd think is the ideal target for a cloud IDE.


Hi. Jacob from GitLab. Our editor will work on iPad.


I'm excited to try it on day one if it does!
