I needed a way to write little programs on the iPhone and while C64 BASIC is neat, I forgot almost everything about it. I am actually pretty good at writing JavaScript code though. Executing javascript: URLs in safari is not a very comfortable solution. So I decided to write a little JavaScript IDE for the iPhone … in JavaScript.

Some nice functions are already available:

• keyword completion
• direct acces to special characters
• some samples
• line-number sidebar
• small (13.3kb)

…and some will be available soon:

• offline support
• open source (open it’s own source code)
• code templates
• proper line-wrap handling
• support for more devices
• landscape support
• maybe syntax highlighting?
