Many people here are strictly using their phones. Like yourself, it's hard for me to wrap my head around how people are able to do that easily. I'm a PC user, so I need my keyboard/mouse, especially to write lengthy code. I can barely send a simple text message on my phone without messing it up. lol

No, it's not convenient for me. I prefer a real keyboard and a wide screen. Each code I posted on Sololearn was written in the web version of Sololearn on my laptop.

RIP to all the people who code significant projects on their phone. Typing is so much slower than a computer and you lack good text editor/IDE tool support.

I do almost all the coding on my computer. Then I test on my phone, making simple adjustments on there. So, I do use my phone for small things, but otherwise I use my computer.

it is ok with small codes but not possible and difficult if the code is lengthy.

All my codes have been written on my phone. Currently working on my biggest web project so far. Been at it for 3 weeks. The JS code is getting close to a 1000 lines and the CSS is already there. The HTML is decent. All on my phone!... I have gotten used to it. I type pretty fast.

@Jax If you watch me type, I look like one of those "Hollywood Movie Hackers." I quickly just punch my fists into my keyboard for 5 seconds and then yell "Okay! I'm in!" :D Back in our middle school keyboarding class, I would charge other kids $2 for me to do their work since I could type really fast. I'd take their money, do my work, save it to a floppy, and give them the floppy to transfer. Good times. lol Between me and you, I didn't even have a smartphone until like 2013ish and most of the time it's more annoying than anything else. lol I only got a smartphone because my phone company told me I'm the only one left and they're shutting down the old networks, so they gave me a free smartphone. :D

look If you using < your own phone > to coding I recommend you to use < USB Connector > this machine can let you using external keyboards for writing - this machine gives you the ability to use all the additional devices for laptops in your phone

Fata1 Err0r lol. They forced you to get a free smart phone? You know, you should really download the sololearn app. You may not use it like the web version, but the added functionality of posting comments on codes, and talking privately on private codes for information such as emails, which isn’t aloud in public. $2? 😂 That must have been fun.

I wish I could join a project with unity or anything really. I really want hands on experience. I've been in college for years for computer science and I think my issue with getting jobs is I've never really participated in a project and learned from others.
