I leave a picture of my setup that I previously posted in Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/o16nfa/pretty_please...

This is a BOOX Note Air, with Termux + Mosh + TMUX and my editor of choice Emacs DOOM.

I'm pretty happy of this setup. I went in holiday and I manage to use my editor to do some coding.

The only side effect is that it requires internet for extra processing power, although you could still run all locally depending on your requirements.

I also have a BOOX note Air, and I am very happy with it. I even installed python and Jupyter LOCALLY. I had no problems processing a few millions of primes in milliseconds. However, the display is not good enough to program as growing code often requieres to fast refresh the screen while browsing code or following stacktraces, which is quite uncomfortable. Also the lack of syntax highlight but I guess some people could get used to those.
I tried to throw together something similar for my Kindle browser just now. I connected my bluetooth keyboard to my phone and ran the following in termux:

  pkg install shellinabox
  shellinaboxd -d -t -p 8080 -s "/:$(whoami):$(whoami):/:tmux attach"
There are better web terminals, but the don't seem to work with the crappy "Experimental Browser".
Hi, if I can ask, what is that keyboard? My local electronics chain had it listed as "Raspberry keyboard" but it's no longer available and I've been looking for it for months.
Dell logo in the top left corner, bluetooth indicator in the top right; nothing on the Dell website that matches it, but on Amazon and Newegg "Dell KW14M01" looks very similar (though neither have the logo top left, so could be different minor version or not actually Dell...).
The keyboard is a Dell K07M, but beside the cute form factor I will NOT recommend buying it. Maybe mine is damage, but I got a lot of ghosting in my key pressing. I’m looking to replace it, maybe with a K3.
