A clunky but functional approach.

I'd like a dedicated folder full of my documents (just text files), synced between all my devices, peer-to-peer and encrypted in transit. No middle man service like Dropbox or such. I'm too old and too paranoid nowadays.

And yes, the very notion of a folder should be left out of the equation on iOS, because it doesn't really make sense there in my mind. ?

I'm in a good mood to write a text editor manifesto now.

Agreed. That started out like such a wonderful, focused application. Then Mr. Feature Creep got a hold of it, and it went downhill fast…

Oh joy. Which version will you need to suffer?

Ah, then it's a sound modification to the apparatus, as I see it. :)

Sometimes the safety systems are weird, and on such occasion it's perfectly good to disconnect them. Assuming that one is not a Darwin Award winner, of course.

Interestingly enough, that works perfectly for me too, although the coding is replaceable with "writing" instead.

I must have been lucky despite having both Simplenote and Dropbox (at the time) connected to Notational Velocity, and not had any hiccups with notes duplicating or such shenanigans.

I know, I know, I should listen to Egon's advice and not cross the streams. It would be bad.

That would be interesting, even though I'm one of the wackos that still run the original Notational Velocity and not the Alt fork.

Yet another app I need to check out. Thanks for the tip! :)

Since I have been living with Simplenote for so long, I've given up on looking for anything else that has come along, pretty much.

It's a start at least. ;)

I have had a document outlining my ideal iPhone text editor app living in Simplenote for a few years, but never acted on it yet. Guess I've been waiting for something better to come along, although it never has.
