JunoJuno 3.0 is out with notebook previews, new file navigation, Python sources support, pyarrow and h5py packages, and a ton of other things!
Juno is now free to download, with an optional one-time purchase to unlock pro features. The free version will get you quite far though: you can navigate and manage files and folders, with rich previews for notebooks and other formats, add quick access bookmarks, and more.
Juno 3.0 is a free update for all existing users: everyone who has ever purchased any version of Juno before the 3.0 release will get all paid features unlocked for free.
Jeff Triplett@carlton I'm curious how my development on iPad you are doing and, if so, how do you avoid hitting that esc key that used to create chaos?
At least it did for me when I tried to use Codespaces and VS Code server from my iPad Pro years ago. 😬
Carlton Gibson 🇪🇺@webology not a lot. I tried the whole VS Code thing and it wasn’t as good as I hoped. I do a lot of thinking on the iPad, but mostly about code it’s about lining up code jobs for when I’m back at the Mac. (I do a lot of review though)
Juno is pretty cool though. You can run a Django server for instance, so even if you didn’t develop it fully on the iPad, you can run it there. And the notepad side of it is nice too.
@webology oh, the package manager works too, so you can get things of off of PyPI. (This was the main reason I never got that far with Pythonista* in the day)
(*yes, yes, I know about the user land hacks for that too 😅)
@carlton sounds very similar to my experience then.
I'm kind of jealous of Andrew's setup of using a remote code server instance, but it never worked well for me. There's no real support for it and that's fine.
I loved Pythonista in theory but it never really panned out for me either. Same thing. I love the dream of writing Python on my iPad but I live by third-party libraries and I'm around a computer enough that it's much easier.
That said, I'll give Juno a look. Thank you for the rec.
@webology yeah, like having a Python interpreter available is pretty handy, but the edit on the IPad dream is yet to materialise. Suspecting it won’t, which is a shame.
@webology “Future of Computing” 😅
Andrew Mshar@carlton @webology I was wondering about this as well. I have an old iPad I'm looking to replace when they finally release new ones and I was debating how much I want to spend. I started looking around and couldn't find a good environment that would allow spinning up a Django instance with postgres on the iPad. I'd only be using it for emergencies, so I'm not sure I'd really care to have a remote code environment set up since I don't travel much. I'll check out Juno as well.
