I don't know if you are attached to this editor, but if you are, I'm interested as to why you would post about it. Why post before I can actually download the editor? What is the advantage of telling people in advance? I don't care enough to subscribe, and I'm not going to remember to go back and look later.

I submitted the landing page to HN myself. Mainly to gather some feedback on the current feature set.

Then, I shall make some comments (this might be too late, hope you come back and read it).

1) I hope that the 'remote files', in particular Dropbox, work well in off-line mode. I would most likely use this program on my nexus 10, which is often away from internet access.

2) While this is a bit specialised, I often connect a bluetooth keyboard to my nexus 10. In that situation it would be nice to make it easy to use ctrl / alt keys for something useful.

Smart move. And this fills a big need in the Android world. As far as I know, there's nothing quite like this on the Play store at the moment. I had thought about building this type of app myself but realized I'd probably never recoup the costs, since a significant amount of time and effort would be required to build a really good text editor tailored specifically to mobile.
