I'm an iOS dev. I spent one month in Feb building https://emoji.cool :)

Stack: Ember, Stripe, AWS Lambda, plus other AWS services... It's kinda fun building something "physical" :)

Hi everyone, I'm the developer here. I made it to scratch my itch: an iPad app for managing gists. And, the Heroku deployment is just the additional feature. You can use it to deploy your micro web sites or web services.

donny — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 00:09:55 +0000

This looks awesome. Congrats. Just wondering, why do you pick browser as the IDE? (as a background, I've been developing iPad IDE called Worqshop).

It's an honest question. How does the IDE perform using the iPad Safari? I thought about doing web-based IDE but found the performance very slow in my testing. Ultimately, it boils down to native vs web apps.

Nevertheless, kudos to you. I know that doing front-end web UI, dealing with AWS, and provisioning the boxes, are not trivial problems.

Edit: Just to preempt, yes, I know my app restricts developers to use iPad :)

Ups... reading the comments below... you will be providing SSH access to the VMs

Hi Alec, I'm sorry about this. Could you please send me an email. There is a bug where Worqshop crashes if you have empty projects on GitHub. It's a known issue and I'm fixing it at this very minute. Thanks. Donny

I've been developing Heroku and GitHub integration for months, at the expense of a better editor. But what people want is a better editor: themes, vim keybinding, extra keyboard, etc :) I'll try to do it after I finish with the server side code execution.

Thanks. Yup, an easy fix. I've spent months doing the Heroku and GitHub integration; at the expense of better editor. Will improve the editor soon :)

Yup. Textastic is a code editor. I've been developing Worqshop as an IDE.

Oh, I need to clarify. In my mind, it's like a shell, eg Python shell or Ruby shell. And execution here refers to the traditional execution of programs / scripts. I don't plan to become a PaaS like Heroku that handles web apps execution.

Most probably after this, I'll add server side execution (since Apple doesn't allow execution of downloaded code on iPad)

Thus, you can run Python, Ruby, etc from the iPad. Worqshop will transfer the code to server, execute, and bring the results back to the iPad. Seamlessly and transparently.

Hmm.. Not at the moment. I need to think about it. I'm a bit wary to add additional keys. On landscape, the text window becomes a bit too small to my liking. But. I'll think about it.
