Oh cool how do I run VSCode in Termux?

Install the server, fire it up, open up chrome in Android and point to it?

Correction: no something's not right it didn't work for me. Looks like it's almost working in nix-on-droid, but something is causing code server to crash.

Yep

Or run an X11 app and connect the GUI, but id argue the web interface is more usable on Android.

Try to use the npm package instead of the nix package, worked for me

Would you want to?

Yes! On a tablet with a Bluetooth keyboard. Should I not want to for some reason?
