This amazing site is so underrated. You/we must somehow get more people to know about PythonAnywhere, especially iPad users because PythonAnywhere is the best way to code on iPad, and there is an increasingly high amount of people who are replacing their laptop with an iPad. I saw this YouTube video of some guy who used an iPad Pro for his computer science major. In the second semester he was doing Java but said it’s not possible to do Java on iPad. He could have just signed up for PythonAnywhere and ask for Docker consoles. Bruh.

One way to get more users would be to start advertising this site

I meant to post this from my main account (dull) but oh well

Thanks pawiki (dull) :) We try to go to community events. (eg: pycon)

Get a new iPad + physical keyboard, and bring that to pycon

That'll impress everyone

I reckon it would :-) Also, with our next system update (if all goes well) you won't even need to ask for Docker consoles for Java, as it should work straight out of the box :-)

(I hope I'm not going to regret saying that -- I'm writing the Java test today to make sure it really does work...)

Is that the word Docker I see?! :O

That means the console itself runs on Docker; it does not mean that you can actually use Docker

This site should really be called LinuxAnywhere

You are able to do linuxy things unrelated to python on PythonAnywhere, but it's not where we concentrate our effort.

How are bots created??? I’m a newbie

Here's a PythonAnywhere blogpost you could follow.

It would be great if you made a native iPad app for PythonAnywhere for the following reasons:

• People who are looking for coding apps on the App Store would be more likely to get PythonAnywhere because they can see it there, therefore you can get much more users

• You can integrate it with iOS (e.g. make a home screen widget that shows CPU usage and stuff, or integrating with the Files app)

I'm guessing you won't do that since it would be kinda hard

And you would have to learn Swift

It would be quite a lot of work, yes. Perhaps someday in the future -- over time, more and more of our functionality is becoming exposed by our API, so when the bulk of it is accessible that way, perhaps an app would make sense. The in-browser consoles would be the tricky bit, though....

this website and service is complete shit. What planet have you landed from? Or fell rather
