I retract my previous statement, and apologise to the developer; I left a message on the app website and I was almost immediately sent a trial code to test the app. I have used almost every text editor ever made to find one that feels like it was made purely for a Mac but that has every function I could need for text editing - this is it. The app is written in Swift and thus is granted huge amounts of functionality by macOS itself - I was able to extend its functionality almost limitlessly using AppleScript, Shell scripts, and the Services menu. This is probably my favourite app to use on my laptop now. Thanks again to the developer.
