User Reviews

Carbon - SSH Code Editor is praised for its simplicity, powerful functionality, beautiful UI, and privacy-friendly nature. Users appreciate the built-in terminal for remote editing. However, several common issues affect usability: users face difficulties changing editor settings, problems with private key authentication, limited directory navigation, persistent cache errors causing file inconsistencies, and inadequate keyboard support in the terminal, hindering usage of TUI applications. These issues highlight areas for improvement to enhance user experience.

Pros

The app is useful and works reliably even in 2024.
It features an awesome and appealing UI with a nice terminal theme.
It has no ads and does not collect user data, appealing to privacy-conscious users.
The terminal is a valuable feature for editing code on SSH servers.
The app is simple yet powerful for its intended use.

Cons

Settings, especially editor settings, are difficult or impossible to change; settings page often doesn't open.
The app lacks support for private key authentication, causing authentication failures.
Navigation limitations exist such as inability to go to root directory or move up directories (cd ..).
Cache issues cause old or deleted files to still appear in the editor until cache is manually cleared.
The terminal lacks important keyboard keys like TAB, Ctrl, arrow keys, and has poor support for TUI apps like htop, making terminal navigation hard.
