Seabass

About

Seabass is a code editor for mobile devices.

Currently supported platforms:

• Sailfish OS

Features:

• Syntax highlighting for over 120 programming/markup languages
• Undo/Redo

Architecture

Application for each platform consists of two major parts:

1. Platform-specific application
   The application provides UI using native components, interacts with file system and contains WebView to inject editor engine

2. Web-based editor engine
   HTML5 application optimised for mobile WebView runtime

The two components interact using a simple message-based API. In Sailfish OS messages are delivered using navigator.qt API
