Well, I saw a couple requests here and there for a text viewer, so I got bored today and threw together a super simple text viewer that works with the
online Document DE converter (It's less flickery, that's just the gif issues with capture.
)

I will probably add things like a better gui and scrolling and stuff. And reading actually from the archive... But here it is for now, as a text display thingy.
Looks nice, don't forget to add fonts and rainbows for the text!

Haha, sounds good. 
Custom fonts wouldn't be too bad to add; just have to modify some other things. A rainbow font would be cool, but probably isn't feasible.
You could have Annie Where's your Telescope font and Arial font.

Yep, don't know if I have enough room to do things like that though. 
Anywho, this might not turn into a fully functional on-calc text editor anytime soon, but I guess I'll just wait and see what happens. Could be fun, but at least now text files can be looked at and transferred a lot easier. I'll probably tidy up the GUI first, and then other things.
It's definitely a good start, I think there would be a lot of students very appreciative of a notepad like program for the CSE. I'd fully support taking this further
Would you consider combining this with some of the code unknownln published for
his long-on-hiatus TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition text editor (code available on GitHub)? I know you have zero free time, but I think there's definitely a nifty text editor/viewer somewhere in your combined work.

Yes, I might do something like that. Making a text editor would be relatively easy; I've got one lying around from the monochrome series, so I can just modify the bounds and stuff from that to make it work. I will probably stick with the TI-OS font for now in order to save space; and I have a quick question: What is the best way for calculating which line to currently view? I currently have it set up to where when you press down, it stores a pointer to the previous line into ram page 5, which gives about 8100 lines or so, which is probably enough for most things. Of course, I could always just scan back to the previous newline... That would probably work a lot better; think I'll do that instead.
EDIT: Oh, and I'll probably just make a small program to convert the text files to AppVars instead of programs.
