Textastic

My friend @Lextar just released a new version of the @Textastic code editor for iPhone and iPad 🚀 If you’ve been waiting to download this well-known app, now it’s free to download! 🎉 apps.apple.com/us/app/textast…

Textastic 6.0 for Mac is here! New features: select separate Dark Mode theme, adjustable line height, five new editor themes, improved Swift support, fully compatible with macOS Sonoma… #Textastic #MacAppStore apps.apple.com/us/app/textast…

@jorge22 The alert is shown by the OS because of "UIRequiresPersistentWiFi" in Textastic's Info.plist. This was originally added so that the WebDAV server can bind to the device's Wifi interface. I would need to check if it works without it.

@Textastic my app keeps crashing after I write with ending with an emoji 😭 but luckily it seems to be saving what I wrote 😅. I've been using the app for years for my journal app and other than it crashing would love it if it had a toggle to turn off its desire to go online.

@jorge22 Can you please send me a screen recording video of the Emoji crash so I can see the steps to reproduce the issue?

Textastic Code Editor for iOS is 30% off from today (#BlackFriday) through next Tuesday! #IndieAppSales $8.99 down from $12.99 in the US €9.99 down from €14.99 in Europe It's very rare for Textastic to go on sale, so get it now on the App Store: apps.apple.com/us/app/textast…

Textastic 9.9 for iOS is now available. It supports the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max display sizes. It also fixes issues with text selection when using an external keyboard on iOS 16 and fixes problems when entering Korean text on iOS 16.

@leommj Yeah, I plan to post news for Textastic at @textastic@social.blach.io I'm currently active as @lextar@social.blach.io @lextar" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">social.blach.io/@lextar

I can’t believe that after 10 years of being #iPadOnly I still use these 5 apps every day and they are still “best in category” for me: - @iAWriter - @Textastic - @reederapp - @ithoughtsapp - and of course (duh!) @nozbe P.S. These are all indie apps michael.team/apps10/

@TheDeskofBrad I’m on Mastodon at @lextar@mstdn.io, but not active at the moment. I’ll probably cross-post news there. @lextar" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mstdn.io/@lextar

@moonlitmurray Yeah. Maybe I can also improve it so that previewing external files in Safari is actually possible.

@Textastic Ah, I think that is the solution. Although, maybe something that pops up and says, ‘To preview in Safari, please open the file directly in Textastic’ rather than hiding it entirely? Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been aware of the function at all. Just a thought.

@Textastic Hi, it appears open in Safari is no longer working? Can you confirm? (iOS 15.6.1, Textastic 9.8.9). To reproduce: Open html file, click on glasses icon, click on ‘…’ button, click on ‘Open in Safari’ == nothing happens. I’m pretty sure this was working a few weeks ago

@moonlitmurray The first two options disappear when an external file open. It looks like the third option is still there when it shouldn’t. Thanks for letting me know about this issue. I’ll fix it in an update.

@moonlitmurray Oh, I see now! There are several ways to open the preview in Safari: 1. When the code editor is open, tap "…" and choose "Preview in Safari" 2. Tap and hold the preview button and choose "Preview in Safari" 3. What you used: in the preview screen, tap "…" and "Open in Safari"

@moonlitmurray Interesting. For external files there should not even be a "Preview in Safari" option. It would be great if you could send me screen recording video (to support@textasticapp.com) of how you are opening the file using the share sheet and how opening in Safari then fails.

@Textastic I think I figured this out (tho I don’t know why the behaviour changed). Previously I was opening the html file in Textastic via the iOS share menu. However, when I move the file into the Textastic folder and open ‘internally’, the ‘Open in Safari’ works. Does that make sense?

@moonlitmurray Hmm, then it should work. Does a reboot help?

@Textastic Hi, thank you for replying. No, Safari is selected as my default browser.

Start editing files in @Textastic from context menu. The file and any changes stay in the repository. apps.apple.com/app/apple-stor…
