Hello,

I am super interested in Termux, too.

As far as I know, it's not even iOS specific. At least I tried a
similarly named app on Android and running BRLTTY to follow its
terminal.

It kind of worked but I couldn't see the cursor.

I did report an issue, expecting it to be not so muchof work but
apparently, it is:

For those interested:

[termux/termux-app] Let screen readers catch cursor position (Issue
#2543)

If somebody has the skills to work on that it would be absolutely great.

Alternatively, if someone is aware of another usable project it would be
great, too.

Sure, there is Mario's work to embed a Raspberry Pi in a Handy Tech
device, but (1) it's specific to this braille display, or at least
others not necessarily lend themselves as well to the trick as the
Active Star. And second, having a Linux and command-line in a smartphone
means you have network all the time, whether you are on a wireless
network or not.

Seb.
