Just found this app and been really enjoying, thank you! A couple of feature requests: mainly character count but JetBrains Mono would be a bonus. Just found!

This is an excellent app. I am a blind user, and this app is fully accessible with voice over. Other apps come with so much features, it nakes it hard for me to take notes, without pushing other buttons. Then there's problems saving things on ICloud drive. Some of the apps do not let you edit documents outside the iPhone. This app lets me save to my drive, and continue editing with my PC. I absolutely love this app. I hope it's always available.

Often need to paste plain text into emails, and this app does a great job of stripping formatting. Only thing missing is a “reopen last file” on launch option.
