My dreamy iPad application!
I dream of a simple application on iPad that may enable me to develop or fix problems on my web servers. As iPad seems not to enable multitasking, it should be an 1-in-all application that provide:
- Code Editor for PHP, HTML, CSS, XML, Javascript…
- SVN/CVS support (maybe GIT too)
- Integrated web browser (using Apple’s webkit)
- PHP interpreter (w/ in-memory sessions)
- MySQL embedded-server (simplified and optimized for SSD/Flash storage)
- SSH terminal, with multiple tabs and scp copy
- ftp too (but it’s totally unsecure!)
- a way to interface directly to bug trackers (webservice?)
- ability to read and answer email (because we are all exchaning using email WHILE working)
This might begin without PHP and MySQL, to enable at least develop remotely on a web server or test server, but adding them will make it incredibly efficient!
One problem I see at this point, it’s full support for Javascript events, that will need specialized interface on the browser, as “click-and-move” isn’t supported on touchscreen where it translate to a scroll: you need a way to switch between the 2 behaviors!
PS: a second-one whould be to have a mini-lightroom to browse photo, organize them, tag them quickly, do some basic corrections, syncrhonize that with my Mac, and moreover support basic calibration to display pictures correctly! I am a dreamer
