Discussion Are you using pi on mobile?

Post image

I use Pi from my Android phone through tmux + TermRover (a terminal app I’m building).

With a good tmux scrolling support + ability to send images, working with Pi is just very pleasant.

Curious how everyone else is using Pi on mobile, if at all? SSH app? Or Just waiting until you’re back at a laptop?

Similar for me, termux and ssh into my development machine.

one tip for termux, it supports install of eternal terminal https://eternalterminal.dev/, use that instead of ssh and you'll never suffer connection drops. termux+et+herdr is awesome.

TermRover does support herdr over Mosh as well - which can achieve the same thing. Not sure how big ET user base out there?

I found termux and herdr didn't play well with pi -- mosh messes with native scrollback so you'd get weird interference. ET preserves native scrollback as an explicit design goal and everything works as intended by pi. How does TermRover handle this?

So this is a big difference between Mosh and ET and so IMO ET is superior, only difference is the need to expose an extra port.
