> Offline folders

> This is like rsync for your phone. In fact I would not be surprised if this is implemented using rsync. Once you configure an offline folder, it will two-way sync that folder while you use the app. The kicker is: on your phone you can now open that folder in another app (like an editor) and make changes. When you switch back to the shellfish app, the changes are uploaded almost instantly.

One can get this killer feature for free with Android and Syncthing. It’s definitely pretty nice!

And of course one can also run Emacs and other free (as in speech or beer) text editors on Android.

IIRC there are a couple of ways to get a full Linux command line environment as well.

I ended up moving away from it just because ‘typing’ with my thumb is painful.
