But like, I just want a basic scripting language that I can use to build stuff for my phone.

Give me some predefined items, and some basic functions.

Let me build From the device that will run the code.

Hell, i would settle for Bash. That's not what I want, but I'd settle for it.

It's an automation thing for android but it also lets you build menus and other user interfaces

@troubleMoney oh. ThT sounds neat. I'll look in to it.

But also, I'm on iOS

(which, frankly, I'm embarrassed about.

It is a great operating system aside from all the stuff it won't let me do, but that's no excuse to put up with the limitations.

I was strongly adamant that I wouldn't ever use an iPhone, but they won me over with a good camera and useful accessories... :psyduck: :psyduck: :psyduck: )

Follow

@ajroach42 Ah yeah, no idea if there's an equivalent for iOS

The other option I'd go to is bash scripts in termux which also isn't available on iOS

@troubleMoney I'll look in to termux. I'm amazed apple allows something like that.

Otoh, I could just ssh in to my actual server and do shit there. (Now to figure out which ssh client for iOS can convert touch to mouse, and to re-learn the monster that is bash dialog. )

@troubleMoney totally misread your original message.

My second comment still stands.

@ajroach42 After a look around there seems to be this blink.sh/

Don't know how good it is though

@ajroach42 @troubleMoney Let me know if you find a decent ssh client for iOS, because I've never found one.

iOS is definitely not the platform for tinkerers and coders, which is sad because I first started coding on a Mac.

@mdm @troubleMoney I used terminus in the past. Haven't had it installed in over a year though, because I haven't been coding.

We'll find out if it's any good later tonight!
