User reviews

Amazing app. Feature request

I like that you recently added the ability for us to choose exactly which icons are in the toolbar. However, could you add a feature that allows us to organize the order of these icons?

Could you also add the ability for one to use custom fonts that the user has on their phone? For instance, I have a profile installed for Fira Code, and I would like to use it here.

Thank you! One of the best editors around.

It’s FREE! Show some respect

Do people expect the developer to pay them to use the app? Why doesn’t it have 5/5 stars? It’s a great, free app.

Максимально неудобное и забагованное нечто.

Пытался пользоваться несколько раз, надеясь, что с новой версией баги уйдут. Но нет. Приложение регулярно падает и глючит. Удивительно, что такие поделки пропускают в App Store. Хотя потенциал у приложения есть.

Response from developer

Спасибо за ваше мнение. Мне жаль слышать, что приложение постоянно падает и у вас возникают проблемы. С версии 0.6.7 было выпущено несколько исправлений ошибок падения и проблем с устойчивостью, особенно связанных с макетом редактора, предварительным просмотром Markdown, боковыми панелями и обработкой больших файлов. Пожалуйста, свяжитесь с поддержкой, указав вашу версию macOS и описание файла/рабочего процесса, который вызывает падение, чтобы я мог изучить точную причину. Выходит новый релиз 0.7.2. Можете ли вы сказать, где именно происходит падение — на каком шаге или в какой ситуации? Какая у вас версия macOS? Вы используете Intel MacBook?

Vibe coded AI slop

Clearly just a vibe coded editor with no real meaningful use. Bugs galore and fails exceptionally basic syntax highlighting. Do yourself a favor and stay away.

Endlich ein Editor, der nicht im Weg steht.

Ich habe in den letzten Jahren so ziemlich jeden Editor ausprobiert – von VS Code bis hin zu diversen leichten Alternativen. Das Problem ist fast immer dasselbe: entweder zur aufgebläht oder zu eingeschränkt.

Der Neon Vision Editor geht einen anderen Weg – und genau das macht ihn interessant.

Was sofort auffällt: die App startet extrem schnell und wirkt wirklich nativ. Kein künstlicher Overhead kann warten auf Index, Yvng oder Plugins, gerade bei schnellen Änderungen an Skripten. JSON – Dateien oder Lock ist das ein echter Vorteil. Große Dateien öffnen spürbar schneller als bei vielen anderen Tools.

Die Oberfläche ist minimalistisch, aber nicht leer. Syntax Highlighting funktioniert zuverlässig. Für viele Sprachen und Features wie Quick oben oder Relax – suche sind genau da, wo man sie erwartet. Kein unnötiger Ballast, aber auch kein Notepad Level.

Was ich besonders positiv finde: kein Trekking, kein Accounts keine Cloud Sven. Läuft komplett lokal, optionales AI Feature aber nicht aufdringlich. Konsistente Erfahrung auf Mac iPad und iPhone.

Natürlich merkt man an manchen Stellen noch, dass die App aktiv entwickelt wird – kleinere UI – Kanten oder Features, die noch nicht ganz ausgereift sind. Aber das gehört ehrlich gesagt dazu und Updates kommen regelmäßig.

Fazit: kein Ersatz für eine volle IE – aber das will die App auch gar nicht sein. Für schnelles sauberes Arbeiten ist sie genau richtig. Für einen schlanken, tiefen Editor sucht, sollte sich das definitiv anschauen.
