I feel like we are so close to this with SideCar, it’s not at all perfect but a couple of people on my team also have iPads and we’ve been getting away with some great brainstorming sessions drawing on our pads and throwing the sketches into slack once the meeting is over.

I tried one of the terminal emus, the one with alpine. Ish I think. But it didn’t do what I wanted.. and in reality, I only need a terminal and some compilers/vms.
It will come.. But hopefully without too much cloud requirements

Agreed fully on the last notion there. I’ve come across so many great pieces of software that I think “oh this would fit my workflow just nicely!” but then the other shoe drops when I see it requires a signup to their service and their cloud to use a native desktop application that talks to a non-proprietary TCP based protocol.
E.g. some of the most interesting replacement MacOS email clients requires signing up to their “service” so I can use an IMAP client to talk to my work’s Exchange through a mail client. No. Absolutely not.
