Ratings and reviews

I'd only used the app sparingly because the ad implementation was among the absolute worst for any app I've ever used. But recently I needed to use it again briefly and the ads were surprisingly no longer intrusive. I was about to buy the premium version just now (ironically having obnoxious ads makes users less likely to pay for premium) but the price has nearly doubled. I assume this is due to new AI features being advertised, which I neither need nor want. Guess I may need to switch apps.

Great code editor, and I was impressed at how well the JS/HTML preview works. Sometimes it's nice to be able to review a codebase and make small changes when away from my main PC. I can recommend Syncthing-fork to connect the two. Recently I've been having this problem where files can't be saved or loaded at all. I can see folders in the file hierarchy, but no files. I don't think I messed up file permissions. The result is that I haven't used this program in a while. Awaiting an update.

IT'S TOTALLY WORTH IT! Tried pro & had an issue. Requested & received refund. Within that time the Developer had responded to my issue, pushed a fix & released an update! So I re-purchased the pro version again. 😁 Just the settings alone are worth paying this developer for their time. I don't code, but I can't stand browsing source or logs without syntax highlighting. Now I never have to remote into my desktop to view data! Pay for this, you won't be sorry.
