The way to get started on mobile is to go to your settings screen here on desktop and find your URL.
00:07
Make sure you are in tailscale mode.
00:10
And then you hit the QR code, you scan that with your phone and you're ready to go.
00:15
I'm going to use the emulator here.
00:17
So I'm going to copy this URL and I'm going to paste it in here.
00:24
And here we are in the same installation.
00:30
the first thing I always like to do is get this space from the browser back.
00:35
And you do that by going here and then saying share and then more and then doing add to home screen it just in the cloud and have this on open as a web app.
00:49
If you do it like that, you get like, just like on desktop you can do this.
00:52
You get like a full on icon and you have more space on the page.
00:57
the app works a little bit different on desktop on mobile because there's less space.
01:02
The workspaces are in the left bottom.
01:05
these are the same that you have.
01:07
So you select one and then you have your agent tab and the other ones are all hidden in here because we can only show one at a time.
01:16
But the browser one also works.
01:18
Like, this is the lesson we had open.
01:21
Here we go about the parabolas.
01:25
so I can see what this feels like on my phone and I can in the agent ask, it to make changes.
01:34
I actually always like to use this dictation mode, especially on mobile because typing is a bit of a pain.
01:43
And that is basically how it works.
01:46
Much to my surprise, actually, everything just kind of works.
01:50
and I find myself doing at least half of my coding work from my phone these days, which I didn't expect.
01:59
there's one more thing I want to show you, and that is, not about coding on your phone, but if you're coding on your desktop and the thing you are building also you're interested in seeing how that behaves on the phone.
02:18
whenever you have this preview browser here, you can always, take this QR code, like click the QR button here, you get a QR code, you scan that with your phone and that tunnels your phone all the way through to the right workspace to this dev experiment so you can test it on your phone, before having to commit, or deploy it anywhere.
