Wish I could contact the developer
I just had one “wish list“ item, which is to transform an ellipsis (...) into a long dash (–). I went to try to contact the developer with this suggestion, but I could not find a way to do that, other than this review.
But in general, this app is a revelation! Many thanks!
Response from developer
Thanks for the detailed suggestion — ellipsis-to-em-dash is a great addition to the wishlist. You can reach me directly at support@pixelfolio.app; that's the best place to share ideas like this. I'll keep this one in mind as the transformation library grows.
Elegant, diverse, instant text transformations
For someone like me - who uses Textcrafts transformations both recreationally/socially and has used them in development-ish tasks - its $4.99 and featherweight 3.7 MB were/are more than worth the experience. It’s super configurable, capable, and robust.

Crashes/will not reopen
Response from developer
TextCraft is under new ownership, and the crash issue you encountered has been fixed. The lack of response was from the previous owner — support is active now at support@pixelfolio.app if you run into anything.
Differently useful than I expected
One can type in any snippet of text, and the app will immediately present an array of dozens of alternative snippets, most of them either making simple changes (like a d d i n g w h i t e s p a c e or Changing Things to Title Case) or doing some clever processing (like rapbqvat in Rot13) or — coolest of all — taking advantage of exotic Unicode characters for formatting like sᴍᴀʟʟ ᴄᴀᴘs or 𝔅𝔩𝔞𝔠𝔨𝔩𝔢𝔱𝔱𝔢𝔯 or uʍop ǝpısdn or 🅑🅤🅑🅑🅛🅔🅢 or š̷̟p̶̰̙͂õ̴̤̲̾õ̴̤̲̾k̸̛̝͒y̸̺̓͊ d̸̢̩̚ỉ̵̹͎̀a̷͇͝c̶̱͒r̶͓͑ỉ̵̹͎̀t̴̪̩̍ỉ̵̹͎̀c̶̱͒a̷͇͝ļ̵̳̕š̷̟.

A pleasant surprise is the best kind of discovery. The Unicode formatting tools are the core of TextCraft, and you've clearly explored the full range — from the subtle (whitespace spacing, title case) to the delightfully unhinged (spooky zalgo diacritics). Appreciate you writing it up so vividly, Jonathan.
