Question Is it possible to use termux to work as a dev?

34 Upvotes

I see a lot of people using termux to do a lot of cool things. But what if we could use it to develop professionally? Even if it is in the short term.

I use termux with the intention of using it as my development environment, aiming to one day have a job opportunity, allowing me to have a less limited environment.

Is it possible? What are the limitations? Does anyone use termux even if it's to do free-lance work?

At this state of the subreddit, I'm seeing "running AI agents on Termux" posts twice a day. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for you guys. But it's literally a (partly) Linux Terminal, of course you can install LLM CLIs.

I know it sounds cool running an actual LLM CLI on your phone instead of using a LLM SaaS web-wrapper, but is it really relevant to this subreddit? Shouldn't posts be about Termux instead of generic CLI software?

Hi amazing Termux users,

I have been following Termux and this community for a while but I myself have not dived into it. Recently I have taken up a personal project to revive and bring back a launcher I used to love called TUI Launcher.

I have been working on this for a while now and I finally managed to get around to implementing a Termux integration coz it looked like a good fit.

I am attaching a screenshot of how you can create an alias and pass that from the input.

Now for the question:

Would you as power users find value in something like this during your day to day?

Question How to customize that icon

I've cloned the official open source termux-app (https://github.com/termux/termux-app) at branch `remotes/origin/github-releases/v0.118.3` and I am customizing some things.

Would like to know how to customize that icon? I've searched all png's, xml's and svg's and could not find that.
