A lot of code editors for Android are almost identical, and it makes me think that they're all forked from the same base project, including this one.

I've been looking for a good mobile editor for quite a minute, and they all practically have the same UI and features.

I did just discover a port of VSCode, though: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.environmen...




They are not really identical and forked from the same base project, they may have similar features. Acode is foss,built using cordova and JS tech,has its own plugin system. Squircle is also foss and built using kotlin. Vscode for android is just code server inside web view wrapper or browser and embedded git. I can't speak for the other ones as they are proprietary.


I understand that VSCode is different, hence the "though" part of my sentence.

The remaining examples are all almost identical, though.
