MobileCode is a code editor that completely rethinks how coding should work. Why are we tapping around on lines way too long for our screen? Why are we punished severely for typos? Why can't we fit more than one section of code on our screen at once? MobileCode answers all of these questions because it was born out of years of coding on our phone. In fact, MobileCode itself was completely written on a phone! Some of these innovations include: - individual line wrapping, prettified - hierarchical collapsing based on {} and empty lines - keyboard extension - tappable autocorrect - prompt for tapping the start of a line - etc: regex search, regex replace, undo, select, line select, cut/copy/paste Bring code in from local files, or paste a URL, with additional support for GitHub repositories and .zip files. Enough coding on your phone in a way that was designed for computers. Enter a world of new on-the-go productivity with MobileCode.
