A text editor application is a web, mobile, or desktop application used to create documents such as articles or blog posts. Text editors are typically designed around the core concept of editing and saving plain text files. Some text editors include features for spell checking and grammar checking. Others may support advanced features like syntax highlighting and code folding.
text editor apps are similar to most other office productivity apps with real-time data components, such as project management apps, time-tracking apps, accounting apps, and expense tracking apps. Popular text editor applications include Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Apple Pages, and Libre Office.

A text editor app can grow by capitalizing on the way that people use apps in general. People use a text editor app for three main reasons: to quickly create content, to organize existing content, and to share content with others. Text editor apps can grow in popularity by creating a viral loop that rewards users for sharing their content with other users. An app like this must also be easy to use, otherwise it will not appeal to new users who come from more mainstream social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter.
A text editing app faces legal and reputational risks associated with user misuse of the platform. Although text editing apps may seem harmless, they often provide users with access to third-party content via programmatic interfaces or the import of documents. Some businesses have had their websites or servers shut down by courts after users published defamatory material on websites powered by a text editor app. It is therefore important for developers to take steps to ensure that their apps do not facilitate illegal or offensive activity.
