- Innovative find and replace for searching and modifying text while still viewing your file.
- Choose font and font size, including support for custom fonts imported using another third-party app.
- Show the line and column the cursor is located on.
- Uses the standard document browser for an experience similar to the Files app.
- Quickly navigate to a specific line.
- Automatically close opening brackets and quotes.
- Multiple windows on the iPad.
- Format code using Prettier.js. Supported languages include CSS,HTML, JavaScript, JSON, PHP and more.
- Choose text encoding between popular encodings like UTF-8, UTF-16, ISO Latin 1, and many more.
- Enable or disable autocorrection, autocapitalization, and smart punctuation.

- Enable page guide at a specific column to easily tell when lines are getting too long.
- Add vertical and horizontal overscroll.
- Remember the selected language per file.
- Save file extensions and filenames that should always be treated as plain text files.
- Enable soft tabs and choose the width of the tab character.
- Specify whether pressing the tab key should insert a tab or indent the line.

Questa è Apple

Quando la gente mi chiede perché ho un iPhone rispondo che, più del dispositivo in sé, a fare la differenza per me è la comunità di sviluppatori indipendenti e dedicati come questo.

Inaccettabile

Cercavo un’applicazione che potesse sincronizzarsi con Google Drive e modificare i file txt salvati lì senza passare da altre applicazioni.
All’inizio funzionava benissimo, quindi ho deciso di acquistare la versione completa.
Da circa una settimana a questa parte succede una cosa veramente fastidiosa: dopo una mezz’oretta di utilizzo, si può ancora scrivere, ma nel momento in cui si cerca di uscire dal documento o fare qualsiasi altra cosa l’applicazione diventa inutilizzabile, non risponde ai comandi e se si cerca di riaprirla crasha.
L’unica soluzione è quella di riavviare l’iPad, dopo il riavvio si apre tranquillamente, ma tutto il lavoro che hai fatto prima che l’applicazione decidesse di fare i capricci non c’è più.
Assolutamente inaccettabile, ho perso ore di lavoro per questo motivo. Fatevi un favore e rivolgetevi su altro.

Developer Response ,

Hi,

I’m sorry to hear about your bad experience with the app. Unfortunately, the unresponsiveness and crashes comes from using Runestone with Google Drive.

I have previously looked into this issue and found that the File Provider exposed by the Google Drive app is unstable and will occasionally cause deadlocks that I cannot workaround in Runestone. These deadlocks must be addressed in the Google Drive app.

Best regards,
Simon
