What is it?

Acode is a text and code editor built for Android devices. It targets developers who want to write and modify HTML, CSS, JavaScript and other languages such as Python and Java directly on a phone or tablet, without a desktop computer.

Websites created in Acode can be previewed instantly in a browser. The app includes a built-in JavaScript console and a terminal based on Alpine Linux, and it can connect to remote machines over SFTP, FTP and SSH.
