Ask HN: Fun Productive Phone Hobbies?

2•bix6•59m ago

Any recommendations for burning time on your phone in a fun productive way? Chess, ebooks, and HN are my current tops but I’m looking for something creative. Maybe a drawing or coding app? I feel like I’m missing something.

Phones are a bit small to explore the full potential of mobile. I'd look into getting an iPad Pro. Lots of cool stuff you can do.

I won’t carry an iPad around though. I just downloaded some music apps cuz I realized I could work on writing progressions / lyrics for guitar songs.
