At Applidium we really dig open source software. To celebrate Vim’s 20th birthday, we decided to port this incredible text editor to the iPad.

We could explain why Vim is so awesome, but many people already have :

• Yann Esposito teaches you Vim, progressively
• The awesome guys at Thoughtbot explain why Vim isn’t actually hard to learn
• Here’s a nice article on common misconceptions about Vim

So go grab Vim on the App Store. It also does run on the iPhone, but to be honest it works better on the iPad. Last but not least, feel free to report bugs or contribute on our GitHub page.
