Similar to

, HTML Editor supports
offline functionality
that doesn't require an active internet connection to work. It also has an
auto backup
feature that periodically saves your work so no progress is lost when switching devices or going offline.
Code anywhere
Computer programming
is a complicated and intensive task that is usually done with desktop and laptop PCs due to their fairly
high system requirements
. However, smartphones and tablets have reached a point where they are capable enough of such things. If you're looking to code in a more portable manner, then apps like HTML Editor might be able to help fill that need of yours.
Simply put, this program lets you code in a similar way as you do on a PC, whether it be starting from scratch or continuing your work with an
existing HTML file
. Alternatively, you can import your codes between devices with its
online code transfer
utility. It also supports a number of different file formats across
images
,
videos
, and
audio
, so you won't feel limited as you code.
Work in fullscreen
to maximize your screen real estate and to see more lines of code at a glance. Add this to the aforementioned offline mode and auto backup feature, and you have a fairly streamlined workflow. Given that the app is free, it features ads that appear when you use it. However, they
can get rather obstructive
, often blocking your view as you code.
Robust and adaptable
Moving on, given how capable
tablets and smartphones
have become HTML Editor is able to leverage the power of these devices to offer a similar user experience to its modern desktop contemporaries. Aside from the ability to import existing HTML files, you can also
transfer codes
from PC to mobile
and vice-versa through the app itself.
To do this on PCs, you can utilize the web app to
generate a barcode
that you can scan with your device's built-in camera through the app's Get button. On the other hand, you can send codes from mobile, and select the Transfer option to produce a
transfer code
that you will input on the aforementioned web client to download the work to your computer.
You can also share your code with others via the appropriate Share button and you can attach the file through
e-mail or messaging services
online. Whether you're working from your desktop PC or any of your mobile devices, the auto-backup feature essentially ensures a
seamless workflow
and continuity.
Lightweight and decent
Being able to code on your smartphone is a thing now, and HTML Editor is one of the apps that can help you do it. It's a fairly
straightforward and reliable
solution that gets out of your way and lets you focus on the code. Cross-platform support is great and the offline and auto-backup features will be appreciated by many users. A solid effort overall. Recommended.
