Note that with tbodt's excellent ish app (https://ish.app/), you can get a real emacs installation on the iPhone. I made a quick writeup on it (https://dp12.github.io/posts/tippinglikeits1989).

you can get even more 'real' and run it natively if you compile it for yourself on a jailbroken device. I'm working on this for arm64 (newer devices) and someone accomplished it ~5 years ago: https://chriskohlhepp.wordpress.com/linux-on-iphone/emacs-oc...

> It segfaults on executables of any real size

Is this just in iSH, or a bug in Radare in general?

Probably an OOM (very limited shared memory available)

I love emacs more than most, but Jesus Christ

Around the same time I wrote a package for Emacs that would run a webserver within emacs so that you could interact with it remotely from a mobile browser: http://thomasburette.com/take-off/ . Since every action you can perform in emacs is just a piece of elisp code you can easily send any command to emacs. The input method on mobile however is another story.

Pretty useless in practice but it was interesting to delve into the emacs source from the elisp code down to the c text rendering part.

Wonder if the chorded key input problem could eventually be solved with Google Soli gestures like those on the new Pixel phones:

Thanks for posting. I love this kind of deadpan parody video.
