I have been having a ton of fun messing with this, hooking up a dock and a kb/mouse, so funny using my phone this way. More of a party trick than actually useful, for me anyway. if one didn't have laptops, i could see it being handy.

What have you guys been using termux for? The biggest value I saw from it was using ffmpeg on it, and ssh for fun. I can't really figure out what other uses I may want it for. Backups maybe?

I'm not rooted, so I can't do a lot on this crappy samsung, but it's fun to play around.

My main use is as an SSH client. My next most common use is pass (with the password store synchronized via a Syncthing app, outside of termux). And one more I enjoy is pdftk for basic PDF editing operations (e.g. split, merge, remove passwords); that's been useful at work where it seems like no one's got PDF editors installed on their computers already.
