> Built in remote development support (inspired by VSCode Remote Development)
Well... This has me intrigued. This is basically the only thing that keeps me on vscode.

#12VS Code is so bloated af Waiting for this to be stable! Would love to contribute! Any next features doc, so I can pick a topic and submit some PRs. Awesome work :)
Ya...it's going downhill :-( I liked it as a lightweight editor. Now it's just another IDE. But instead I have to sift through thousands of half-baked 3rd party plugins to get the functions I need. Editors/IDEs should do one thing or the either well.

VS Code isn't bloated if you never install any extension. You can't hold Microsoft responsible for third party bloat.

VSCodium is fine, so is emacs and vim. I use them along with IntelliJ IDEA. This "code editor" looks pretty minimal in comparison to the ones I mentioned... at least as far as the screenshot goes.

That's the entire point? The functions don't exist because it's supposed to be lightweight.
If you're finding that you need 20+ plugins to add features then I've got news for you, you're looking for an IDE that has all these built in by default.

#16The 0.0.1 release crashes on MacOS 12.0.1, would be nice to try it out when its more stable.
Same here. Sounds interesting though - I'll keep an eye on it!

#17Author here. I didn't expect this will go on Hacker News. Although the editor has been my daily drive for almost one year now, it's really rough on the edges. The plugin system as described in the README hasn't been implemented yet.
This is awesome! Looking forward the WebAssembly WASI integration :)

#18Looks promising. Always nice to see a movement to slim-down RAM and CPU usage of our tools.
Will this editor allow me to run it with rust-analyzer code completion?

The bloating cycle should merit its own xkcd comic I guess. VS Code was specifically successful because it was perceived as much less bloated then IDEs, yet much more user friendly than most editors. Now we hear complaints that it is bloated. What will be next?

Hey! I really appreciate the built-in modal editing and remote development support. It would be good if we can have linux builds.
