I’ve had enough of the text editing issue, where when you press backspace it highlights the space before the word and ends up deleting it. The developer passes off responsibility for this to the engine they use and seems to have no intention of addressing it.

What are the pros and cons of the other Android apps? I’m only considering ones on F-Droid, not the Play Store, so that rules out Summit and Boost. Ones I have available are:

  • Thunder (IzzyOnDroid)
  • Interstellar (IzzyOnDroid)
  • Voyager
  • Eternity
  • muffed (IzzyOnDroid)
  • Combustible

    Thunder is fantastic. It’s so good now. Lots of customizations, and it’s actively being developed.

    The markdown support is good, and spoiler tags are done right. It has it’s own YouTube video player now, too.

    The only issue I’ve found recently is superscripts rendering funny. Let me try one again.

    This number should be a superscript1 more words.

    Oh, it’s working now. The other day or at putting a line break before the superscript.

      Oh! Here’s the ultimate test: [1]

      Can it handle Markdown citations???

      Even the website doesn’t handle those quite right.

      The links should scroll between the citation in the text and the definition at the bottom, while I actually wrote the citation immediately afterwards. The website scrolling doesn’t quite work, but it does at least place the definitions all together at the bottom.[2]

      View the source for fun.

      Oh, maybe the website does handle it ok, it just doesn’t quite work on the first click. Subsequent clicks seem to scroll correctly.


      1. I wonder. ↩︎

      2. I’m kind of just extending this comment now to make it more likely to scroll correctly on a phone. ↩︎

        Neat!

        The content isn’t long enough to scroll, and the superscript doesn’t look like a link. Tapping it just collapses replies now that I’ve replied.

        Tapping the little arrow doesn’t collapse replies, so it’s doing something. It might scroll up if your comment were long enough.
