CodeSandbox for iOS lets you take your projects and sandboxes with you wherever you go. Using an iPhone or iPad, you can now access our new cloud development platform in the comfort of a native iOS IDE.
I’ve been on the beta for the iOS app, and excited to it launch - I initially tried using the browser version on the iPad, which worked well, but this native iOS app is a game changer, as it brings all the native touch and gestures which the browser doesn't support. It just becomes so easy and much more comfortable to use. Now I can code without carrying the bigger laptop 🎉
Hey Product Hunt!
I am Carlos, iOS Engineer at CodeSandbox and creator of play.js, a Node.js IDE for iOS that became part of the CodeSandbox family one year ago.
During this year we have been working hard on CodeSandbox Projects, a platform where creators can access their work anywhere without sacrificing the power of a full development environment. Today I am proud to announce the evolution of play.js into CodeSandbox for iOS and its full integration with CodeSandbox Projects.
CodeSandbox for iOS will continue supporting sandboxes development for fast prototyping but now you will also be able to develop projects of any size while also taking advantage of the unique development workflows that CodeSandbox Projects provides (quick branching and PR creation, pre-configured environments, etc).
This is just the beginning for us. As Projects grow, the toolset on iOS will continue to grow as well and we want to learn from you! Join our beta and tell us how you are using this app and what you would like to see in your own developer journeys.
@carlostify big congrats, and thanks for a bit of the backstory story, on how it came from play.js too - I have been having fun trying it out, and looking forward to ditch the mac 💻
Amazing job team CodeSandbox 👏🏻
I sometimes worry that the next generation of programmers gets lost because the modern computing environment you grow up in (iPhone & iPad) is nothing like using a clunky DOS system that basically invites you to start tinkering & hacking the very first moment you use it.
This app makes web development on mobile devices not just feasible but even, dare I say, enjoyable. The attention to detail is incredible! 💯
