Hey folks! I'm exploring how to turn my Galaxy Fold into a portable coding setup. I'm looking for a way to run a comprehensive code editor like VSCode or something similar on my device. Ideally, I want to write and possibly execute code in languages like Python and JavaScript without depending on a separate computer. Has anyone managed to create a mobile development space on the Fold? I'm curious about any tools, apps, or hacks you've used — like Termux, Remote SSH, or good browser-based IDEs that suit the Fold's interface. I'd love to hear your tips and any experiences you can share. Thanks a ton!

Have you tried using vscode.dev? It's a straightforward web version of VSCode and works pretty well for coding on mobile devices.
Browser-hosted IDEs are really your best option here. Definitely check out vscode.dev or codesandbox.io for coding directly on the Fold. Also, investing in a Bluetooth keyboard might save you from the frustration of typing code directly on your phone — it makes a huge difference!
Yes, it's definitely possible! The first thing you might want to consider is that the Galaxy Fold supports Samsung DeX. If you have a TV that supports wireless projection, or if you can use a USB-C to HDMI cable with a monitor, plus a keyboard and mouse, that would really enhance your coding experience. You can also use browser-based sandboxes to write your code on the go!
Right, DeX is a great feature! Just make sure you have everything set up for a smooth coding experience.
Thanks for the tip! By the way, what do you think about GitHub Codespaces? I heard it's a web-based IDE too. I'm in the military in Korea and I'm not sure about Bluetooth device regulations, so I might have to get a wired keyboard instead.
