Investigate Viper Edit #10

Closed CaptainBeyondDS8 closed 4 years ago

CaptainBeyondDS8 commented 4 years ago

Viper Edit is a more up-to-date Turbo Editor fork released this year: https://github.com/maks/viper-edit.

Text Editor 8000 was forked in 2016, sporadically worked on in 2018, and then abandoned. I think it would be nice to have a modern Turbo Editor fork in F-Droid, but the Viper Edit developer has decided not to pursue this: https://github.com/maks/viper-edit/issues/7

Since I'm planning on getting back into Android development, I'm considering resurrecting this project. Viper Edit may have some neat things that TE8K can borrow from; or, we could contribute code to them. As far as I am aware, Viper Edit contains everything contributed to Turbo Editor up to now, but TE8K may include some things (like the hardware keyboard fix) that I don't know if Viper Edit has yet.

I've decided to close out this project and consider submitting Viper Edit for inclusion in F-Droid instead.
