I recently posted an article about existing status of Rich Text Editor APIs/Rich Text Editor Apps for iOS
HERE.
This is the article about my own iOS Rich Text Editor . I am going to name my little Rich Text Editor as
MIM Text Editor.
So here is the first update. I am planning to release the open source API quickly before Apple's releases the iOS 5 in market. My goal will be to make it really really easier for developers to use it. Just like Apple's way . Keep it simple !Developers will be able to just stick it into their application and it will be ready to go.
I have taken up a really huge project in my hand I know.. there are so many things which are possible in a rich text editor.. but a step further every day I am going to keep updating on this blog. And of course other interesting resources which I come across will be posted too ! :)
Screenshots of First Update are attached below. I know it sucks but these are the features I have just finished or they are being worked on for API release! And all this I have come up with in few hours of work today so I guess its a good start !
Features I can have finished:
1. Write alphabets
2. Delete alphabets
3. Change Font
4. Change FontSize
5. Clear All Text on the editor Pad.
6. Change Color (Right now it just displays the standard Color, I want to do it more like Apple's color picker)
7. Keyboard Appears and Disappears on user driven event.
8. Pointer
Here are the few screenshots
