9 months ago The application is really simple and useful. Having a text editor is also a nice detail. Thanks so much again. Wouldn't it be great if there was also a pdf viewer and we made Material Files the default PDF reader?
This app has its own text editor? I have not noticed such a thing.
I am looking for a good PDF reader too. Right now I am forced to use ReadEra because there is no FOSS alternative to it. But it is a topic for another repo I suppose. I agree with other comment here that sticking with Unix philosophy and making each app be good at only on thing is the better approach.

9 months ago Yes, I use ReadEra too. I make many searches with the file manager during the day. It would be much better if the same application opened directly when I clicked on it. If it have a text viewer and editor, I think a black PDF viewer would suit that application.

7 months ago This is kinda off-topic, but MJ PDF is a simple FOSS PDF reader. I don't think Material Files needs an integrated reader.
