Perfekt, hier sind trotzdem Vorschläge

So gut wie alles kann ich damit machen, bis auf .plist Dateien bearbeiten. Ich brauche momentan 3 Apps: Runestones, plist Editor und irgendeinen file viewer, der order öffnen kann, die iOS nicht erlaubt zu öffnen, wie .app. Ich verstehe, dass dritteres nicht wirklich zur App passt, aber .plist als Option wäre super. Das hier soll trotzdem Lob sein, meiner Meinung nach die einzig gute text editor Option im App Store.

Crashes on Apple Vision Pro

As soon as I open it up and start to type anything on my Bluetooth keyboard, the app instantly crashes. I brought this up to the developer on X, but he completely ignored me. I guess he cares more about making other little pet projects than fixing his existing ones.

Lovely

Can finally write down the 1st 10 million digits of Euler’s number and the 1st 10 million digit of pi in the same file easily

Awesome text editor

With direct access to iCloud file system on its free version!

Almost perfect

I really like this coffee editor. There are a couple of limitations, which Textastic has that would be great on this app, such as having tabs to fast switch between files, as well as a better system for syncing with Dropbox or Sync. The fast tab switching makes it really easy to compare versions of code.

Otherwise it is great!

The developer’s editor

Great tool for specialized text editing — exactly what I needed.

Best Text Editor Around

This app is such a bargain. You get a really good editor for free, or, even better, the perfect editor for just a few bucks. If there were a Mac version, it would be my default editor alongside vim. This app offers syntax highlighting for every file format I could ever need, even including LaTeX. And the interface, including the file browser, is clean and simple. I wish I had found this app earlier.

Soweit so gut

Allerdings leider zerrissen im Startbildschirm. Kein überlagern und leserlich. KI hat auch keine Idee.

I love this app

I have fallen in love with this app. It is my go-to text app for writing.

I do have one feature on my wish list: word count.

Can you please add a word count option on the status line? That would take this app over the top for writers.

Please?

Simple and clean

I like the simplicity of the app. Would it be possible to add a preview view for html or markdown? Let know if it’s in premium purchase and I’ll get it asap.

Asked me to rate.

Fun to learn

Works fast and you don’t get stuck on a tor browser in another language

too much money

every basic feature require premium which is so expensive.

bütün temel özellikler için premium lazım ve çok da pahalı

Saved my family

huge help back in ‘21. thank you Runestone!

求作者更新一波。

Good app, needs code preview

I use Runestone to view and edit code, and to view plain text documents. When it comes to code, the feature set is ok. I subscribed to premium. I appreciate the one time purchase as opposed to subscription. The only feature I really want that isn’t included is a preview of the code. A side-by-side view, code/preview, would be awesome.

Nice one!

Great app, the Premium version is definitely worth it, but you can get much done with the free version. Only improvement suggestion I have is a Markdown preview renderer – that would make it perfect!

Love this app! Hope to see a pinch-to-zoom feature.

After comparing several text editors, this one became my absolute favorite, and I gladly purchased the Premium version. I truly love the clean, beautiful design and its incredibly lightweight performance.
As a feature request for future updates, it would be wonderful if we could pinch-in and pinch-out on the editor screen to zoom the text size up and down. Since I suffer from presbyopia (farsightedness due to age), my vision varies depending on eye strain, and being able to adjust the text size intuitively on the fly would be incredibly helpful.
Thank you for developing such a fantastic app. I look forward to future updates!

Linebreaks copy paste bug

Editor is inserting 7 additional linebreaks for each linebreak when copy pasting a section that includes linebreaks, needs fix. Also the app is very unstable(it became more so recently?), editing existing text almost always crashes the app if it involves multiple lines at once or is done too fast. Great design but leaves much to be desired in stability

Amazing!

Great app and highly recomended. Thank you for making this app! One of the first coding apps I found that works offline, and dose not require you to pay for anything important, and works fin. The only issue i found is that copy, past, and cut do not work geat. PLS fix.
