I use this for editing markdown files that Claude maintains in OneDrive since Microsoft does not natively support editing non-office docs in the OneDrive client.

If you’re an old-school text editing coder, this app is a great bridge between touch screen and raw text editing. It will also integrate with several cloud storage solutions, so you can use any storage you already use. The only problem is: it doesn’t remember your preferences across updates (like every other app on the planet does). A simple, but important detail that is the reason I can’t give it a 5/5. My workaround: I have a note in the Notes app where I keep track of whatever settings I change in this app. Otherwise it would be like reinventing the wheel every time this app (or the OS) updates. But this shouldn’t be necessary. The app should remember settings across updates. It seems like it should also be able to remember your last position in a file, and take you there instead of the top of the file every time you re-open a file. A setting for “top, bottom, previous” location on open would be nice. My other (less important) feature request would be that if you’re using an external keyboard, being able to set VI or Emacs key bindings would be a bit awesome. (I’m an old vi / vim user)
