    I wish there was option to view the remote files instead of downloading and viewing. Also i wish there was option to save the shell commands. Else its 5 star.

  • My new favorite iPad code editor

    I've tried many native and browser-based editors on the iPad with an external keyboard. Textastic plus Working Copy for version control is a potent combination, much better than anything I've tried before. They're very will integrated with each other. Also, I appreciate the extensibility. I do a lot of work in Hashicorp Configuration Language, which is not among the many languages that Textastic supports with syntax highlighting. But thanks to the excellent documentation, I was able to drop in a package easily to get exactly what I want. Also: thank you for releasing updates with genuine changelogs! Some of us really do read them.
  • No git integration :(

    This app is basically useless to me without a git integration. I’m not going to purchase a subscription to something like Working Copy just to pull and push to git repositories. Bummed to have wasted the 9.99 honestly.
  • Shell has display bugs

    The terminal does not glyphs correctly even on nerd fonts. The spaces/tabs are not displayed correctly as well in the terminal. It would be nice to have the option to hide the top bar to get a cleaner experience while using terminal based IDEs.
  • Excellent code editor and tool for remote programming

    I use Textastic to work on code hosted on remote servers. It makes a good alternative to vim over ssh when I don't have an internet connection. Good integration with Working Copy makes for an almost seamless experience. I would like to see custom editor themes, or at least the option to turn off syntax hiliting (a plain theme). Something like the Acme editor theme. Keep up the good work, great tool for those of us who use iPads for real work.
