A powerful and open source code editor (opens in new tab)

Elemental is an open source code editor that I'm developing for Android, Windows Phone, Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Chrome OS.

The most common question I get asked is why not Atom or Caret. Elemental's goal is to target smartphones, tablets, and Chromebooks. While Caret runs on Chromebooks, Atom doesn't, and neither run on mobile devices.

The idea behind Elemental was to develop a code editor for new developers and students, those who don't want to buy a notebook or desktop to get into coding, but already have a tablet or Chromebook.

While I doubt it, I also hope Elemental will be useful to more experienced developers. I know I'll use it! Tablets and Chromebooks are cheaper and lighter than conventional laptops, not to mention better battery life.

To sum things up, if you like the idea behind Elemental, I'd love it if you backed the project. Thanks!

seems very interesting being able to code in same editor on phone, tablet and desktop/laptop.

have you looked at universal apps on windows? would make it possible to have one app that works across all windows 10 platforms, might not be relevant yet, but would be pretty interesting.

Just an update, macros have been added to Elemental's feature set.
