PseudoEdit

Pseudocode refers to a simplistic and informal way to describe the logic of a program or an algorithm without using a specific programming language. Often used before the actual code for a given program, pseudocode is written in a human-readable form that can be easy to understand even by users without too much programming knowledge.

While you could write in any text editor available, sometimes it’s best to use a specialized tool to get things done faster. PseudoEdit is a tool that is especially designed to focus on pseudocode.

The interface is non-distracting and user-friendly, as it enables you to write in a linear and organized manner. You can get started by typing in directly into the dedicated fields and, unfortunately, the tool doesn’t support paste, so everything needs to be done manually.

Although you need to type every line, the app compensates via other features, namely syntax highlighting and auto-completion. Thanks to syntax highlighting, the text will include visual highlights of various parts of the code, thus making it easy to read. At the same time, the app provides suggestions that are commonly used in pseudocoding, which can save time and reduce the changes of error. The program doesn’t seem to have a dedicated error detection system, but it is rather included in the auto-completion feature.

It goes without saying that the tool focuses on pseudocode and hence, it may be less versatile compared to a standard text editor that permits you to write actual code. Simply put, it may not be suitable for other types of programming or writing.

PseudoEdit is an easy-to-use application that provides some extra features to a standard text editor, such as auto-completion, for instance. If you regularly need to write pseudocode for various projects, it can help you get your tasks done faster.
