    Shameless plug: For anyone interested in new code editors, I'm working on a multi-platform one called ecode [1]. It's similar in spirit to Notepad++ and Textadept, and some of the …

    It's in the main project repo, since ecode it's part of a much bigger project: https://github.com/SpartanJ/eepp/ Here's the explanation: https://github.com/SpartanJ/ecode/?tab=read…

    > Why? Genuine curiosity, what's the angle for a market for sublime/zed alternatives? What are they lacking? In my opinion, Sublime’s biggest gap is that it’s not open-source, and …

    I think there's still space in the editor market for an open-source Sublime/Zed alternative. I've been working solo on a code editor with similar characteristics for a few years. I…

    Thanks! Currently it does not but it's not something particularly complex to implement so I can add it if there's interest! I haven't used NP++ in some time so I don't remember exa…

    I'm working on an code editor with a similar philosophy (or at least I'm trying to achieve similar goals) but it's completely open-source (MIT licence). It's called ecode and can b…

    This is an ongoing trend that will continue until some of the new GUI-backed UIs gain some popularity. What we need right now is a real alternative to Electron based applications, …

    Thanks for the compliment! The graphics module is the core of the application (the UI consumes the Graphics module for all the rendering). There are two modules that aren't current…

    That depends on what you want to extend. You can expand the capabilities of the LSP, linter, and formatter by adding new configurations. You can also create new color themes for th…

    Author here: No, you're incorrect. It's a general purpose code editor. What you are describing is the underlying technology used to create the editor. eepp (the library) currently …
