To make it easy to read code. :) It feels pretty comfortable- squinting isn't fun.

We tend to avoid user preferences. If it ends up being a problem, we'll lower the text size at some point.




It seems a bit extreme on my Nexus 4... http://i.imgur.com/hagaiLR.png


I'm old and I like big fonts. But on my Galaxy Note II, this is too big for me.

I like word wrap too, but I'd like to be able to switch it off. In my desktop code editors, I generally use proportional fonts and enable word wrap, but sometimes I also like to be able to see the structure of the code without the word wrap.

I think font size and word wrap should be things that are easy to toggle right there while you're looking at the code. Not in an option setting somewhere. Or enable pinch-zoom for the font size and just have an option to toggle word wrap.


Speaking of the code view, any plans on adding code commenting capability on mobile? This has been a bit difficult to use on a phone because the click target is so small on the desktop version.

I can't resist doing code reviews even when I'm away from keyboard :)
