You can setup a server in Digital Ocean and access remotely from your IPad using some app that works as a terminal for your device.
That way you can basically install any software that you server supports: node, npm, git, VIM, etc.

Yes, I have that already (e.g. cloud VM instance with some tools), but that's basically about connecting to it via terminal. I would like to have more "native" experience, e.g. some editor that would either use that directly and it will just use the online tools.

I have tried some apps like Play.js and seems to work well for basic projects but for real/big projects I don't think there are apps for the iPad that can really compete with a Mac :( or not that I'm aware
