This looks pretty cool, there seems to be Vim shortcuts [1] and even theming. Judging from your screenshot, Solarized Dark is the default theme? But I'd have to wait until its release (or beta, should I be so lucky!) to consider moving from standard vim editor and Solarized in my Xresources. [1] https://github.com/atom/vim-mode
I always wonder why I learned emacs over vim. There is never support for it.
Because when you learn elisp, it runs circles around vim.
To be fair, Github wouldn't need to leak anything to get on the top of HN. Just about any thing they post on their blog gets on the front page for at least a few hours.
notions of fairness aside, github doesn't need hackernews.
in the slightest. for attention, or for anything else...
and i'm fairly sure that paul graham would say that himself.
holy cow this thing has like 70 repositories! And I found a screenshot... looks very much like sublime text: https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/1424/1228569/cce6eb26-27a6... edit: based on this[1], it looks like this is a GitHub-aware/integrated text editor that targets both desktop (Mac, at least) and web [1] https://gist.github.com/elcuervo/eb68883f233baf5a46c8

FYI, it's not WebKit but Chromium I'm betting, based on the crash reporting. If you want an idea of performance, Edge Code from Adobe will provide an answer. Oh and there's a welcome repo with an IRC channel listed. Atom.io just says "nope" for me but is likely its future home.
Any ideas if all the code behind the editor will be released as open source? Edit: To be clear, I am not talking about all the supplementary repositories that are already open source, but rather I am wondering if the core application will be OS.
I'm very curious too. This may make or break it for me.
A text editor in a browser? There seems a lot of excitement about it but I can't work out why - can anyone explain? I'm not trying to be argumentative; I really am curious!
It's for editing text and there appears to be massive excitement about it....?

I love the edit markers in the last screenshot. But too skeptical about the performance of a text editor running in webkit. All of my experiences writing text online have been bad. So the jump into using webkit for an entire dev environment fills me with dread.
Have you used LightTable? It's quite fast as the editor. I'm sure Atom is similarly fast. It doesn't run in the browser; it just uses WebKit as the engine.
FYI https://atom.io is leaking assets. Here is an album of the images found in the css http://imgur.com/a/KG4MX#0 the css http://pastebin.com/FgN3g448 the js http://pastebin.com/p1nBmGki
Well, crap, they've certainly got enough pictures of rockets. Sign me up!
Only in theme. The layout looks very similar to ST, particularly the menu.
> Only in theme. Meanwhile not even the theme matches ST's? > The layout looks very similar to ST The layout also looks very similar to LT. > particularly the menu. The pretty standard tree view? Yes, it looks like the very similar tree views used for the exact same purpose in LT as well. How surprising.
