Unfortunately, I ran into an issue with Inspect where it would not prompt for the password, and go straight to 401 unauthorized, which means it won’t work with some text editors like Textastic. And honestly, with the growing trend of moving away from frameworks for more basic functionality, you can set up a pretty solid website just using tools like tailwindcss and alpine.js! WebDAV is just a file server, so it won’t allow you to install any tools to say, host a WordPress site locally, or set up node, but it will allow you to mess with some quick JavaScript snippets or set up a basic website. When paired with the Inspect app, this a nearly full-featured editing experience! You can edit your files in your text editor, and access them locally with Inspect in order to debug. There are numerous text editors that provide WebDAV URL setup, which will set up your files on a local server that you can then run right on the browser of your choice. Step 1: Local Devīelieve it or not, you can do some basic local web development with the iPad. So naturally, I’ve always been on the hunt for productivity apps that can help me get as close to possible to iPad development, and I‘ve put together a pretty killer lineup of applications that you can use to build out an entire website straight from a base model iPad if you really want to torture yourself. And I love the form factor and UI of the iPad. HOWEVER, I’ve always been fascinated with trying to do more with less. There’s no support for a native console, no way to install NPM or spin up a local web server, and there’s no official native support for that sort of thing in sight (except kind of? We’ll get to that later!). Obviously the iPad is not the ideal device for development.
