Full-course lesson IX — Coding on mobile

Preview

SSH and Mosh are not rivals. SSH establishes the connection; Mosh makes it more tolerant of network changes. The real friction, the one you hit every day, is scrolling. This lesson explains why it behaves the way it does and how to work around it cleanly.

When you are connected over Mosh from Termux, scrolling the screen does not bring back what was displayed earlier. This is not a bug in your phone; it follows from how Mosh works.
