Termux is great - one of the ways I use it is to install the golang toolchain and compile/run connet.

I forget about how many Android only Apps I've used through the years. Emulators, fdroid, pulse wave generator(not sure if iphone has it, but they don't have aux ports anymore), termux, probably more... I don't think about it.

That all said, I've heard news about Android getting degraded by Google to be more like Apple. Hope its rumors, but at least I had a good decade+.

There’s an app called Termux in the iOS App Store, but I’m guessing it’s not the same thing?

I use Termux for my OTP implemented in a bash script, I trust oathtool more than an app.

I like to use with termux_xfce proot to use calibre on the go etc

“Extendible” —> extensible, I believe

Termux and I have a love-hate relationship. Is my go-to app in my ARM based chromebook. Yet I am forced to upgrade the package manager to install git and other tools and once the package manager upgrades.. SSL library breaks. So you get ONE CHANCE to install your packages before SSL gets upgraded and bam! No more installations for you. I go to the usual places to look for fixes and it's like yeah yeah yeah. Try this.. tried? Still broken, beats me.

That's what I get for sticking with 32 bit ARM chromebook. Lightning fast. Great battery. Old OS.

the best thing ive ever downloaded on a phone

Imagine Termux with a "VPN mode" so that privileged ports could be forwarded
