Being able to code on my computer from my phone would be a killer app
Have you ever gotten an awesome idea just after you’ve tucked yourself into bed and getting ready to sleep?
Your computer’s way over there at the work desk but your phone’s by your bed..
Or you go out for a walk, or to grab a bite at a nice cafe, or just doing anything outdoors without carrying your laptop with you.
Imagine this: You get a new idea while you’re away from your computer, you take out your phone, type a prompt, AND IT RUNS ON YOUR COMPUTER AT HOME.
I don’t mean going through a cloud service website or remote shell or Claws or whatever we have now: I mean an actual native Codex app for the iPhone/Android, that simply mirrors the Codex app on your computer. It shows all your threads, and whenever you type a prompt, it executes on your computer at home (or closed in your backpack but still connected).
THAT would be an absolute killer app for remote coding.
For my own use case, it would be great for running reviews on my existing code, and mulling over the findings while I’m away from home. I don’t let the AI directly edit the code, I look at its suggestions and figure out how to bring them in in my own way. That kind of tasks and ideas come best when you’re away from your work desk, don’t you think?
