This is a currently-unbranded HTML editor for iPadOS. It uses WebKit to provide an editable preview of your HTML side-by-side with its source code.
You can run the .swiftpm
package contained in this repo inside of Swift Playgrounds 4 on iPadOS 15.3 or later to develop, test, or just use the editor on your own iPad. No second computer or other workarounds required.
- Side-by-side source code and direct HTML editing
- All projects and files stored in user storage
- Loose file support for file providers that don't allow folder access (looking at YOU, Dropbox)
- Rudimentary file management (rename/delete) with a healthy amount of SwiftUI-related papercuts
- Open projects listed in a quick-access "shoebox" format

I originally considered licensing the editor as GPLv3 to make a statement about how refreshingly unrestricted Swift Playgrounds is, but someone's gonna want to put this on their iPhone eventually and that will mean dealing with the App Store at some point
An Xcode project that builds the same editor for macOS is also provided. It directly references files in the Swift package; though if you add, remove, or reorganize files in the package you will also need to update the project to match. It also requires that you manually obtain copies of the following Swift packages and place them in the following directories:
vendor/SwiftUI-Introspect-0.1.4
- https://github.com/siteline/SwiftUI-Introspect.git
Users of the Swift package do not need to do this step. It only exists because Xcode projects cannot directly retrieve a package from a Git repo, unlike Swift Playgrounds, and I couldn't find a Swift package feed for it.
The Xcode project builds a proper AppKit version of the project. Using the Swift package in Xcode or Swift Playgrounds for Mac will produce a Mac Catalyst version running in the Pad idiom, which does not at all look like a Mac app.
