You can see a simple demo at https://web.fe.up.pt/~arestivo/remark.search/ (try pressing Ctrl+F, searching for slide and then F3)

That thought has crossed my mind several times. The idea of the free app is just to allow users to test the product. Ads definitively don't pay for the amount of time invested.

You only need to be online to open and save the file. You can switch apps and go back to DroidEdit and still have your file open, even if Android decides to kill DroidEdit in a low memory situation.

Trolls will troll... The free version has the standard admob sized ad. Together with the softkeyboard it will leave only space for a few lines of code if you have a small screen.

However, the paid version doesn't have ads and it is primarily targeted for tablets. On the phone, I imagine it is useful to do a small edit here and there or to show code to someone.

No CoffeeScript support for now but I'm working on a way to allow users to add their own syntax highlighting schemes.

Although not natively, you can configure DroidEdit to use git as long as you edit your code remotely via SFTP. There's a post where I explain how to do it here: http://droidedit.wordpress.com/2012/02/19/using-git-with-dro...

Tired of having to deal with my laptop battery, I decided to get a Transformer Prime. The only thing I needed to get rid of my laptop was a decent source code editor. And thus DroidEdit was born.
