Current smartphones are highly optimized for content consumption a.k.a doom scrolling. Nothing serious exists for programming. On top of that, a touch keyboard and hard to reach special characters make programming on a modern smartphone a big chore. I miss the old days of smartphones that had a hardware keyboard with tactile feedback. I used to code up and maintain a PHP based dynamic website circa 2007 with a Sony Ericsson K770i and upload through a J2ME based FTP client that also had the text editor in it. If I remember it correctly it was called MobyExplorer

<rant> The commentary mocking people for their poor English, followed by disparaging remarks about an entire country as if the email senders represent a typical sample from that nation, says more about the blog owner than about the email senders themselves.

The blog owner exudes elitist vibes in the commentary. A quick skim of the blog reveals a request for Bitcoin donations, suggesting $3 as the amount, without considering that a large portion of this donation will be eaten up by fees. </rant>

ncmpcpp is a TUI based music player for your audio file collection. It's actually a frontend to the mpd (music player daemon)

But you do sign in to use an Android phone, or iPhone. Although, I agree with the point that someone would never want to sign in with their Facebook account there, with FB account holding so much personal information about them! For gaming, somebody would rather prefer to use an alias like dungeonmaster669 instead of their verified actual identity.
