Write Clean Code and Create Fun, Useful Programs. All You Need is a Browser

Exciting new for programmers! In the past couple of weeks, we’ve catapulted two more popular text editors to rollApp’s cloud. Now, beyond ReText and jEdit, you can add Bluefish and JuffEd to your arsenal of development tools. 


Both new text editors can be integrated with cloud storage providers of you choice – Google Drive, Dropbox and Box. To open, edit and save files, you’ll need a rollApp account. Browser requirements are the same for all apps: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari. 

Let’s take a closer look at the text editing apps: 

Bluefish – a text editor targeted towards programmers and web developers, with many options to write websites, scripts and programming code.
