alt Hacker NewsMaintainer here. I get the concern, but that has not been my experience.
I don't think of the mobile side as a way to keep working on your phone on top of your full working day, although I will admit it can be used that way.
It is more about being able to step away from the desk without losing access to the work. Let's say you spend 6 hours at your desk, what if you could spend 2 of those hours walking instead?
To me, it has been valuable for steering long running agents, brainstorming ideas or triaging PRs/issues while taking a walk.
Fun fact, Paseo means "stroll" in Spanish, which is where the name came from.

I do sometimes wish I can monitor my agent on the go and keep drip-feeding it tasks. Because I do genuinely need to read how the last task went before I decide whether to correct or to move to the next task.
Cool project. I don’t think people will get the mobile version until they need it but when they do it’s a mind bending, life changing realization. I built my own IDE to have it on my phone because I have small kids and it is truly life changing. I get to spend way more time with my kids while still getting work done.
If you’re open to collaborating I’d be happy to share what I’ve learned an see if we can share resources or lessons.
