Welcome!
This is the community forum for my apps Pythonista and Editorial.

First Look at Editorial 1.1
-
Agreed, bradchoate. How do I move a local doc to Dropbox?
-
There's a couple of workflows to do just that:
-
Thumbs up Ole — looks nice!
-
Looks already promising. Are you going to resolve the display problems when using bluetooth keyboards?
-
@KU Yes, I expect this to be fixed with the update. iOS 7 has improved support for extra keyboard rows etc., so I could just remove a bunch of drawing code that I suspect was responsible for the flickering.
-
Came here because I saw that Text Expander was broken currently (in iOS7)... so really glad to hear it's on the fix list!
One feature I've always wanted on iOS in any text editor, would be the ability to have two text documents open side by side or stacked (depending on iPad orientation, and need for width or height... so configurable would be nice!). That would give iOS a huge bridge towards OSX level of productivity for writers, coders, etc. Would something like this be possible to add to Editorial, especially now with iOS7?
I've seen a couple apps try to pull something like that off, but poorly implemented. The browser/editor is an excellent step, but two documents is the key. Even if one of them had to be read-only, it would be a big help. I'm always doing research and then writing based on that research. Flipping between documents or apps just isn't efficient. It's like the #1 productivity killer for me with the iPad.
Looks like a really great app!

@Ole We are waiting for Editorial 1.1
-
Not me, I haven't explored a fraction of 1.0 yet.
-
Hi!
Sounds great, I'm looking forward to seeing it live on my iPad.
What about switching the markdown engine to "real" MultiMarkdown instead of sundown? I believe this would be very helpful, even though I ignore how hard this would be to implement...
-
This is a wonderful and immensely useful app. I have a suggestion/request for the next version.
Could you support displaying equations via Mathjax in the HTML preview? I am aware that there is a workflow for this. But this workflow depends on the Mathjax CDN and hence will not work offline. It should not be difficult to have the minimal Mathjax files right within the app. Since the WebKit browser used in the HTML preview supports SVG output from Mathjax (and SVG output is also faster), the memory requirements to have the Mathjax folders right within Editorial will also be very minimal if SVG output alone is configured.
-
Can't wait!
-
@ole,
Please @omz Can't wait. Please update as-soon-as.
-
@omz super excited. The screenshots look pretty great. Excited to check out the new features. New to Editorial still, and newer to python, so hopefully this isn't a dumb question. Could the webbrowser.can_open() function be used to determine which apps on that device have url schemes, in a way that it could pull a list or even tell you directly the schemes, or is it simply for the script's benefit? Hopefully I managed to ask what I meant. Keep working on this amazing software, and I'll keep using it. Thanks for your time and effort, cant wait!
-
@the_buch It's unfortunately not possible to get a list of all supported URL schemes on a device (there's just no API for that), so you'd have to check a list of known ones to see which apps are installed...
-
Okay. That makes sense. Thanks for the swift response! Have a nice day
-
Sorry for asking this question again (but it was not resolved): Would the new version use a "real" MultiMarkdown engine? For people using subscript frequently (as in H~2O or H_2O for water) this is really impornant.
Thanks for your feedback and best regards!Michael

Hi omz,
Any updates for when Editorial 1.1 will be completed and released?
I would also love to see an iPhone and Mac version as well.

I've really been enjoying Editorial. Fantastic work as a whole and the 1.1 update is promising.
My workflow list is getting long and cumbersome. Are you considering adding the ability to organize workflows in a hierarchical structure of some kind like user-customizable folders or a similar function?
-
I would be interested in the workflow organization feature suggested above, by mconnors as well. The list is growing at least a few times a week it seems. Of course, even without such a feature, I'm still just impressed with the fact that this exists at all.
-
I second the comment about having mathjax local. Most of the time I don't have wifi access on my iPad. I need to have notes with math and every other app falls short. This app would be perfect with local mathjax.
Thanks.
