As a recovery thing I've been walking for long periods of time, ~2-3 hours per day which ends up making me feeling unproductive because my focus time is at mornings and if I don't start coding first thing in the morning I'm not motivated enough to start in the afternoon.
All this preamble to explain why I had the thought of coding on an ipad in the first place. With Claude code I've noticed that most of the time I'm "coding" is just me inputting text and waiting for it to actually implement the change. Which is why I had a thought, if simple sentences are all I'm inputting, would it not be possible to use dictation on ipad and work on my side projects that way instead of typing it out. I got into detail about my setup in the video itself. Apologies for the bad audio, didn't remember that it was supposed to be just a test video to check my webcam's mic and forgot to use my actual external mic.
tldr; use vscode dev on browser, superwhisper for dictation, roo code(claude code doesn't work well with dictation cause terminal)
