Student Internship Programme

Introduction

Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. is a start-up company based in Singapore, developing in-house popular applications such as Journey and JotterPad.

JotterPad, one of the two main products, is a minimalistic plain text editor designed for writers to compose novels, lyrics, poems, essays, drafts and screenplays.

During this internship, I worked on both Android and web development for JotterPad Android and JotterPad desktop on macOS.

  • Bug fixes for existing features in JotterPad Android and creation of new dual element syntax for Fountain.
  • Importing of RTF (from WordPad and TextEdit) and creation of prototype for JotterPad desktop.
