Best Web IDE for iPad – Koder Code Editor Review

I've used a few of the competitors and this is probably the best for non Vim web development. The editor is decent, the file explorer works well. Overall I like Koder- this kind of app is definitely not easy to pull off. I'm willing to put up with some of the issues because unlike the competitors, this app gets updated frequently. That's a big deal for me- some of the competitors haven't been updated for over 6 months! That said there are a few bugs / missing features to look out for. - Importing SSH keys can be a little wonky. It doesn't actually move it into the ftp folder when you import it from the app so you shouldn't delete it from the file explorer in iTunes when you're done. - The terminal sort of works. It doesn't run in the background (e.g. you can either be editing or playing in the terminal) and it misinterprets some of the characters it gets back e.g. I tried to run a Node REPL on a remote server and all the feedback looked like junk. - No auto saving - if the app crashes (and it does sometimes) when editing remote files you can lose all of your changes. Save often. - No support for physical keyboard short cuts like copy and paste
