Hey! 👋 I’m Pierre, creator of Vysio (https://vysio.app). I love traveling with just an iPad Pro and a Magic Keyboard, but whenever I tried to get real coding done using mobile Safari or Chrome, I kept hitting frustrating roadblocks: • Keyboard shortcuts hijacked by iOS (Cmd+W closing tabs, Cmd+P trying to print the page). • Address bars and Safari tabs eating valuable screen real estate. • iPadOS putting WebSockets to sleep mid-build or mid-debugging session. • Frequent cookie/token evictions forcing repeated logins. I built Vysio to fix this and give iPad power users a true desktop-class development client. ✨ Key Features: • Full Keyboard Passthrough: Remapped Cmd+W, Cmd+P, Cmd+Shift+P, and Esc keys that talk directly to your remote IDE instead of iOS. • Native Fullscreen Workspace: Distraction-free interface with zero browser overlays. • Screen Wake-Lock: Keeps background container and SSH connections active during long tasks. • Direct Security: Connects directly via GitHub PKCE OAuth with local Apple Keychain encryption secured by Face ID / Touch ID (no middleman servers). • Codespaces Dashboard: Spin up, stop, or manage your GitHub Codespaces directly from a native dashboard. I’d love to hear your feedback, feature requests, or thoughts on coding on mobile devices! Feedback & Roadmap: https://github.com/PierrePerrin/... Website: https://vysio.app

Been waiting for something that makes coding on the iPad feel less like a workaround. The keyboard shortcut passthrough actually works, which surprised me, and the keep-alive session lock saved me from re-auth hell after a coffee break. Solid work.

Can an iPad Pro replace your laptop for software development?

Let's be realistic: an iPad probably won't replace a main 16" MacBook Pro workstation for full-time, heavy local development.

However, for occasional dev work, quick bug fixes while traveling light, weekend on-call duty, reviewing PRs, or running a cloud container on the go, iPad + Magic Keyboard + Cloud IDEs (like GitHub Codespaces or code-server) can be a game-changer.

The main issue today isn't hardware performance; it's mobile Safari browser limitations (keyboard shortcut collisions like Cmd+W, address bar clutter, and connection drops).

GitHub Codespaces vs. Local IDE: Are you moving your dev setup to the cloud?

More and more developers are moving from heavy local setups to cloud-hosted environments like GitHub Codespaces, Coder/code-server, or Gitpod.

The advantages are clear: standardized team environments, instant container spin-ups, and the ability to access your exact workspace from any device (even an iPad). But local dev still reigns supreme for offline work and raw latency.

We're building Vysio (https://vysio.app), a native iPad client for cloud IDEs, to make remote development seamless on tablet (Ipad for now).

Why Stage Manager & multi-window on iPadOS are a huge untapped opportunity for tech productivity

With iPadOS Stage Manager and external display support, the iPad hardware is finally powerful enough to handle serious multi-window productivity.

Yet, most developer tools and productivity apps still treat iPadOS like a single-screen iPhone app. That s a massive missed opportunity.

Imagine a mobile setup where you can seamlessly run:

Window 1: A fullscreen remote IDE (VS Code / Codespaces)
Window 2: Your app preview / local browser
Window 3: API documentation or terminal logs
...all scaled cleanly across Stage Manager or an external 4K monitor.
