I'm looking for some effective mobile applications that allow me to code on-the-go. I'm currently a fan of Visual Studio Code, but I can't always lug around my laptop. Do you have any recommendations for alternatives that can work well on mobile devices?

Why not just stick with VS Code? I use it on my lightweight laptop that's a few years old, and it runs perfectly. But hey, there are plenty of other IDEs you could check out too!
LOL, you could just code in your notes app and then copy it over later. Sounds silly, but I've done that on my old iPhone 3G back in 2008! Feel free to laugh; I definitely earned it.
Honestly, most mobile IDEs aren't great. But if you're on Android, Termux is a lifesaver with Vim and Emacs. You could even install a Linux distro and potentially get VS Code running on it if you can find an ARM version!
I think writing code on a phone can be tricky. Some tools exist, like Acode, but it's not a popular use case because it isn't the best experience. AI tools can help lessen the typing, making it a bit easier to code on the go. Yet, I rarely see developers doing serious coding from their phones without some AI support.
There's actually a web version of VS Code. Just curious, does it support the plugins you need? I tried it once, but many of my go-to plugins didn't function properly.
