You can spec an iPad Pro up to £1869 but still can’t directly use web development tools on Safari. Madness.
@amoroso If I go for an iPad over laptop I'll try first to use the indirect way (you have to connect your iPad to a Mac like it's 2005) before looking at apps and the like. Even though that IDE looks interesting at this point I'm merely looking for a way to do what I can in Chrome or Firefox; right-click + inspect or view source. Baffled as to why such basic functionality is missing from something Apple touts as a "Windows PC replacement".
@amoroso Sorry! Yeah, what I'm currently looking for as a minimum is what Apple have classed as "web development tools". I'm sure if I ever write any code then a full-on IDE will be entirely relevant but I just can't understand how such a basic, novice-friendly tool can be so lacking for what is considered a premium brand.
@simonwoods I’m hoping iPadOS/desktop-class Safari brings the Web Inspector to Safari there, at least (not that I have an iPad, but still). I was baffled when I first got an iPhone that there was no on-phone way to do any of that.
I did eventually discover View Source, which does what it says on the tin, with a few caveats, but with so much of the web (even Micro.blog!) being generated via JS anymore, the source is often not useful/enough. (Which reminds me, I should see if I can wrangle one of Jesse’s generated-source bookmarklets and then see if I can direct its output to View Source…)
