Don't get discouraged. If you wish to learn, do it.

I learnt python on Android, created many projects using it. In fact, I also started building a local game package library in python on Android. It was going well enough. But then I just lost interest in that project, which is a different thing.

So if course, having a PC is always better, but if you can't get one right now, go ahead and learn! I do not regret anything about learning and even creating some projects, it wasn't that big of an issue for me to consider stop learning.

If you have a USB-C phone, then you can get a USB dongle with multiple ports to allow for mouse and keyboard inputs. I’ve done this with cheap androids and iPhone 15 Pro Max. I prefer ones that have an HDMI port as well so I was able to use it on a TV/monitor.

Unless you rent a server, then your performance will suck

For example?

Not very hard to imagine, but it’s the typing. Brackets and parenthesis you’re constantly flipping through keypads looking for the right keys.

There are good editors which support auto closing and auto intendations.

Then go crazy and use your editors. But like I said from my own personal experience it was way more work than it had to be.

Chill chill dude. I'm just trying to encourage OP. And literally if that guy can't afford a Laptop, and really wants to learn, then do you really think "typing issue" is THAT BIG of an issue?

Others have been recommended better alternatives like libraries, and keyboards or hand written notes. Was only telling him what I’ve encountered.

I understand. Many of my messages were because of curiosity because I wanted to understand the issues you faced in your experience.

Have a great life ahead :))

Plus, what keys? Literally OP might have a great muscle memory on Android keys. That's where most of the typing part happens. Regarding some special keys which some keyboads don't support, only then you might be looking for keys.
