Program Anywhere: Never Need a Desktop Again
Right now there is no good way to program from a tablet. It’s possible by turning a tablet into a workstation, adding a keyboard, and essentially using the tablet as a small screen, but this doesn’t take advantage of the tablet’s strengths, and it ignores its weaknesses.
We propose an interface that would allow you to create useful programs, working directly with the tablet without a keyboard. We’ve designed a visual programming application that takes advantage of the tablet’s touch interface, uses familiar tablet interactions (tapping, dragging, long presses), and minimizes typing.
Pannda would focus on relatively small applications with just a few events and actions. This makes it possible to automate common tasks that would otherwise take far too long to do by hand.
