I'm looking for ways to write code either

a) by voice or

b) on my phone or

c) both.

Ideally with builtin git support.

Any ideas?

Use talon. Talonvoice.com. It's specifically written for voice coding and the cursorless system on top is even better. It's fully customizable, and can even incorporate eye tracking and customs sounds mapped to actions to prevent vocal strain. Best of all it's free.

I started using it years ago to help with carpal tunnel and I still use it today after being fully recovered because it's so damn good.

I'm happy to walk you through the setup on a voice call if you need any help just dm me.

Use gitpod - I'd imagine you can use your phone to launch a workspace and then the native keyboard input should work. Haven't tried on a phone but it works on iPad. It's integrated with GitHub, so this should fulfill all of your requirements.

writing code by voice sounds pretty miserable. What's the reason for not being able to use a keyboard? might help narrow down the options.

No real excuse, I just want to try it. Maybe I want to feel like giving orders to the machine instead of like servicing it?

Have you looked into replit?

Not so far. At a glance I guess it's a solution for b)?
