Profile

Hi HN, I’m Hal, the CTO at App Dev for All. I wanted to share a technical problem we worked on over the past year and how we approached it.We’ve been building Code on the Go, a full-featured IDE that runs entirely on an Android phone. No laptop, no ADB connection, no cloud build server. It compiles projects locally on the device using Gradle, supports Java and Kotlin with LSP, and includes a debugger that runs on the same phone as the app being tested.The most interesting and challenging part ended up being the debugger. The Android OS has a rigorous security model, which can get in the way of traditional inter-process communication. Android debugging assumes ADB, which assumes two machines.

The company sits in the show hn launch segment, where it competes on its core product or service.

The company is listed at the Show HN launch stage of development.
