#2This actually looks really, really good. Looks like I need to update macOS from 10.15.5 sometime soon. I use a Hackintosh, so this'll be fun (I've been putting it off because I finally got it to "work" and got scared/wanted to be productive again).
Any idea on their plans to monetize? I assume they will eventually charge, since they raised a 10M series A.

No clue, I'm not affiliated with the devs in any way, I've just been very excited about it since one of the devs tweeted this: https://twitter.com/nathansobo/status/1498053586059620354
However, my first impressions of the keyboard navigation aren't great :(

#5Will it be open-source?

#6My first thought was "Okay, sure, but how does it perform after I load it up full of essential plugins like vim mode and such" but seeing that vim mode is built-in is kind of amazing.
It appears to be more limited than I'm used to (e.g. colon commands don't work, ergo :wq does not) -- but it is indeed extremely fast.

Developing on a mac is terrible; will take a look when other platforms are supported.

Only if you're trying to build for Windows.
