### What we like

iPad optimized version of VS Code integrated into iOS conventions. Can connect to remote environments like Codespaces or SSH to execute code. Blink is a mobile terminal so Blink Code utilizes all of its functionality like using Mosh for reliable connections, customizable shell, keyboard shortcuts etc. Open source.

### Tradeoffs

Needs a large iPad to work well. Great for quick mobile edits, or perhaps when traveling, but full development on an iPad feels like too much of a contortion when a full desktop is so much more flexible
