Finally a decent web programming option for mobile
I frequently find myself on the road and wanting to tweek some of my code or try out an idea or concept, and usually I don't have time or ability to set up my laptop. I've been trying to find a good ios option for a while and this program fits the bill. I've even been able to set it up so that it uses the Dropbox folder that I typically run my localhost from! The only (small) issue I've run into is with the autosave feature causing issues with Dropbox where it creates a "conflicted copy" every few lines of code. I've been able to deal with this by deleting the extra files every now and then (it's a lot of files). Maybe an option could be added to only save manually or when the "Run" button is pressed? Otherwise a great app!
