Would love to see something for diff views (e.g. side-by-side/unified). I mostly program through CLI agents, and so seeing the changes it makes is probably the primary thing I use the editor for, these days.

Will do. https://github.com/sinelaw/fresh/issues/229

i REALLY love this thing, especially the efficiency and speed (phenomenal!). gonna start using it daily. i guess i will be one of those providing feedback. Great work!

Thanks! Don't hesitate to report even minor annoyances (e.g. github issues)

All AI generated, not something I can trust.

Yes, to some extent because AI only assisted the developer achieve their goal.

But the developer is clearly talented, no doubt about that. They know their stuff very well. Having tried writing a text editor myself, I could quickly tell they know their stuff by analysing the program design

It's great to see someone share a full project created with a tool like Claude but the text to communicate about it being also written by Claude still feels uncomfortable to me. It just adds a lot of unnecessary information that reflects the chat history with the user more than the needs of the reader.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> For extensions, the choice was either TypeScript (and get this bloat) or go with Lua and a much smaller binary (but less popular language). Incredible, the technical choice got overridden by popularity, leading straight to bloat

I see extension language choice as a user-facing UX decision, and convenience is a leading concern.

I'd argue using lua is is more convenient than typescript

What ever suits you, you didn't mind shipping a 400mb executable after all, so what do i know
