My experience testing out an experimental app on the street with a phone.

- see what I think is a bug
- check the git log
- rollback to a previous commit
- rebuild the deb package of said experimental app and install it.

Just using the touch display of the phone.

Also the error was not from that commit :x

But to be able to do this is really cool :)

@maryjane I have a very vivid memory from some 15 years ago of hacking on the system GSM daemon's Python code debugging an elusive issue and having a strong aha moment while sitting on the back of a 105Na tram tapping the Freerunner's tiny screen 😄

@maryjane Debugging on the go was more practical with hardware keyboard on Nokia N900. Droid4 has keyboard, too, but keymap is not good enough :-(.
