Ask HN: 12 hours flight. Best options for offline coding?

Posted by pits on Wednesday October 05, 2016 @11:30AM
from the ask-hn dept.

Planes and trains are usually a good place for me to focus and I was planning to do some nodejs project but then realise I shouldn't rely on having internet up there so... what's the best/basic things I should preload on my laptop before take off?

Also considering go/Rust as an alternative to scratch the surface of these languages.

Offline documentation via http://devdocs.io/. It stores the data in the browser's localstorage.

In that case, I would code something to help me automate my computer.
