Thanks for the comment! I completely agree with the idea of decoupling the GUI from the Lisp/terminal. I think it's about time for a refresh!

First and foremost, I love Emacs and have the utmost respect for its Lisp-based ecosystem. It is undoubtedly one of the most successful and enduring examples of user-extensible sof…

Thank you everyone for the insightful comments and feedback! I've learned a lot from this discussion, especially regarding software architecture and the philosophy of Emacs. I’ll r…

I just ran some simple measurements on my machine to see how it compares. These are just informal benchmarks, but I thought the results might be interesting: Environment: Windows 1…

You’re right that "lightweight" is a loaded term. For this project, I don't mean a small memory footprint—after all, it's Electron. What I’m aiming for is "lightweight" in terms of…

I understand that for many, Lisp is the soul of Emacs. When I use the term "Emacs-like," I’m specifically referring to the UI, UX, and the muscle memory of its keybindings, rather …

It’s truly amazing that an editor as powerful as Zed is available for free. We’re living in a great era!

I’m writing these comments in Japanese and using AI to translate them into English, as I’m not a native speaker. I want to make sure I can communicate my thoughts and technical det…

I agree that extensibility is one of the core charms of Emacs! That said, when it comes to keybindings, I’ve actually stuck with about 95% of the defaults. The only exception I can…

I actually went through the same VS Code articles and ended up implementing a minimal Piece Table for this project. I focused on adding just enough functionality to handle Undo/Red…

I’m ready!!! I know Electron has a reputation, but surprisingly, its startup speed isn't that different from the native Notepad. It does eat a fair amount of memory, of course—but …

I truly appreciate your perspective. It’s a very sobering reminder of the responsibility that comes with building a tool that handles code and data. To be honest, this project is c…

Thank you!!! I'm so glad you said that. "Making typing an extension of your fingers" is exactly what I was aiming for. I personally love the default Emacs keybindings and the "musc…

Those are great questions. Why Electron? To be honest, I was simply interested in exploring the technology. But as I started building, I realized that Electron (and web technologie…

I understand the irony! It certainly sounds like a contradiction. As I've discussed in other threads, my goal was to extract the physical UX and muscle memory of Emacs and bring it…

Thank you!

That is a very fair question. When I say "lightweight," I am focusing on perceived speed and responsiveness rather than memory footprint. Here is how I approached it in elecxzy: Co…

Thank you for the comment! To answer your question: I actually start my editor many times a day. I know the "start once and use emacsclient" workflow is the standard and most effic…

Thank you for the thoughtful comment and advice! The lightweight binary you mentioned is likely emacsclient, which is indeed a good way to use a running Emacs process as a quick ed…

Thank you for your candid feedback. I completely agree with your point—the true power of Emacs lies in its Lisp environment and infinite customizability. If my goal was to build a …

Thank you for the incredibly insightful comment. I completely agree with your definition of Emacs, and I have the utmost respect for its true nature as a fully programmable Lisp en…

Thank you for the welcome! Yes, it is exactly related to the Windows Emacs IME issues. Emacs is a product I deeply respect, but configuring it to handle Japanese input smoothly on …
