Write your code and immediately syntax checking, run and debugging, regardless they're written with JS, TS, Python, PHP, Ruby, Lua, Perl, Tcl, Java, OC, Clojure, Kotlin, Swift, Erlang, OCaml, Haskell, ...., almost any programming language. Fav Features --------------- * Parallelly edit files side by side. * Fast goto arbitrary file and scroll to particular line. * Side by side edit files with remote terminal and AI code assistant. * Record live log from remote device or server for fast inspect runtime issues. * Indexing all kinds of source code file and documents for fast autocompletion and jumping. * High performance search with Perl regular expression and powerful file filters. * Fast switch between multiple searched results and locating code lines. * Fast download and upload big folders from server or load into editor from other apps. * Efficiently organise and manage folders and files, add, duplicate, cut, paste etc. * View coloured file changes with diff operation and revert to particular version. * Automatically detecting text encoding of a file and it's a binary file or not. * Directly run diff and patch operation on file or folders. * Directly run JavaScript, Ruby and Lua code within the editor, the app is scriptable. * Inspect unicode codepoint and UTF-8 sequences of a single character. * Show invisible characters and efficiently edit them. * Write markdown document and instantly live preview with each typing in. * Add comments and print coloured file changes to pdf file or print as paper. .... mruby supports 3.4.0. Lua supports 5.4.x. *** Release Note *** More than just a code editor, but also a file manager, universal document viewer and multimedia player. In fact, emphasise the app is also a highly efficient file manager is never too much. Since 2012, the app was originally developed as a code editor for iPad for code review, and later, iPhone also supported, while reading code and viewing files on an iPhone is certainly convenient and useful, but editing text file on iPad is even better. Today's iCodeEditor is almost brand new after years of continuous development, reliable, small and fast. Large software is considered harmful, this small code editor also follows the design philosophy, making software as small as possible, pursue terseness and performance, all operations including source code parsing and autocompletion are locally executing except file download and upload requires a network connection, making the app independent of network is another unmentioned key feature. People should have independent thinking to find good stuff by themselves, but not by those prompt feeds, ad video, picture, article, comments and ranks.

BlueTerm превращает телефон в мост между последовательным Bluetooth-устройством и браузером вашего компьютера. Подключите устройство один раз на телефоне, включите один переключатель — и любой браузер в той же сети Wi-Fi станет полноценным терминалом с графиком в реальном времени. ВОЗМОЖНОСТИ - Мост в браузер: один переключатель отдаёт терминал и живой график любому браузеру в вашей сети Wi-Fi. Без кабеля, без драйвера, без установки чего-либо. - BLE и классический Bluetooth: устройства Nordic UART подключаются сами, а встроенный обозреватель GATT позволяет вручную выбрать характеристики notify и write, если устройство использует свои UUID. - Терминал, который действительно читается: метки времени, шестнадцатеричный вид, выбор окончания строки (LF / CRLF / CR / нет) и макросы команд в одно касание. - График в реальном времени: числа, которые шлёт устройство (temp:23.5, rpm=1200, >speed:3.14 или простой CSV), рисуются сразу — и в приложении, и в браузере. - Экспорт записанного: CSV или JSON через меню «Поделиться», чтобы файл попал в iCloud Drive, Google Диск или куда вам удобно. - Попробуйте без оборудования: встроенный симулятор шлёт пример данных с датчика, чтобы увидеть весь путь до покупки устройства. ПОЧЕМУ ЭТО ПРИЛОЖЕНИЕ? Все прочие приложения для Bluetooth-порта заканчиваются на экране телефона. Но настоящая работа — читать длинные журналы, сравнивать графики, переносить значения в заметки — происходит за компьютером, а у компьютера нет стандартного способа открыть последовательный Bluetooth-порт. Доступ к мосту защищён паролем, который вы задаёте сами, с блокировкой после нескольких неудачных попыток. Адрес доступен только в вашей локальной сети.
