One-Handed iPhone Coding: Beyond Pythonista, a Trio of Apps Emerges

Abandoning Pythonista, they now use a combination of three apps: Secure Shellfish (with offline folder syncing), Textastic (code editor), and Working Copy (Git client), running code on a VPS. While this setup has a higher upfront cost (around €57 plus monthly VPS fees), it provides a distraction-free coding experience, offering an alternative to social media and enabling focused, one-handed development.
