Editorial

It’s 2021 and an text editor can’t sync with iCloud?? Seriously?

Can’t access to iCloud (it shouldn’t be difficult to add this feature nowadays) Suggest the developers add a split view for both raw text and markdown preview (more useful than inline preview in my perspective)

Customisable I use OneNote before. Read the review on MacStories, I decided to try this app. Using markdown is easy and I can just swipe right to preview the document (act as reading mode). Snippet is a time-saving feature. I can type my defined abbreviation to paste the clipboard (type "ppp" to paste), insert the date. Or, Workflow enables me to add text colours (HTML code). Arranging paragraph is definitely essential as I type frequently everything down first and organise the content later. The selection can remains selected no matter the keyboard is present or not. Also, viewing the table of content is really a killer feature for me to overview the content. Renaming a file is simple. Just long-pressed the file name as if I can in Preview on Mac. Task paper mode helps me scheduling things and I can use the link `editorial://open/fileName` to jump to another file. Images can be viewed offline in the preview page, just a little bit complicated to insert though. Well-designed markdown editor on iOS. *** #Suggestions - Hide images/Sort files by types (say, Taskpapers place higher) - Long press a file to select, providing one more way as same as tapping the "Edit" - Import multiple photos (though I can use Dropbox app) - Long press "arrange paragraph" toggle to select (though I can use two-finger tap gesture/workflow) #Other Recommendations - Pinning files - Export from Preview - Style for Editor - Returning the original file if I tap the editorial:// link method - Support Siri "Remind me about this" - Gesture options, like triple-tap to search the content, pinch to fold - Show file name in the Preview tab title - Line numbers in the editor Thumbs up. @blacktc1995

可以快速地跳到制定的heading，這樣即使寫長篇幅的文章亦很方便

March 2024 update: loses a star because, sadly, it does appear to be abandonware 😕 I used Editorial in the past. I just started using it again today, and I had forgotten the ease with which one can create workflows! It is simply indispensable, and I do hope it will never be abandoned by the creator!!

I'm so bummed. This almost did it. It had what I wanted and it works with my decade old iPad. Like finding a unicorn. BUT I got it to to work with files in my Obsidian folder on iCloud. IT DOES NOT WORK WITH ICLOUD DRIVE! This ONLY works with DropBox and local storage. Drop box login doesn't even work on my old iPad web browser.

I cannot imagine a more beautiful or well-designed application for working with Markdown files on iOS. Editing, viewing, and exporting documents feels perfectly natural. For mobile devices I can recommend no other editor more highly than I can this one.

I keep forgetting all that Editorial is capable of. I forgot about the snippet/text expansion capabilities for inserting current date and time, and after spending all day looking for an affordable option on iOS… I realized, Oh right, Editorial does THAT too!!! Amazing!

Covers a lot of ground. I tailor as many of my organization (of info) tasks as I can to Editorial. Nicely behaved. What I can’t do easily I bounce via Dropbox to my main (Linux) machine. Easy because everything’s in plain text. All thumbs up!

I made the move to TaskPaper recently on MacOS and I’ve been searching for a good solution for editing files on iOS. Turns out I bought Editorial some time ago but never really got into it. It’s a fantastic solution for editing TaskPaper files on iOS.
