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

It's closer to Light Table than Sublime Text: http://www.chris-granger.com/images/060/full.png

Only in theme. The layout looks very similar to ST, particularly the menu.

Maybe an announcement that git bought sublime and this is the web launch of it. I would be so excited if that happened.

The ST builds mysteriously stopped recently (ST3 beta and dev), which is a bit ominous.

Considering that ST is barely ever worked on, not really. Maybe a few spouts. I love sublime, if it wasn't for the awesome plugins I probably would have ditched it. :)

http://blog.atom.io/ seems to be WIP, the meta tags are quite revealing :

At GitHub, we’re building the text editor we’ve always wanted: hackable to the core, but approachable on the first day without ever touching a config file. We can’t wait to see what you build with it.

Flattered to see it using marked for the markdown engine. Maybe the world is finally ridding itself of showdown.

And rightly so! Marked indeed is a fine 𝗠⬇ parser!

How would you compare your approach to e.g. markdown-js¹, mdown-parse-pegjs², or text.js³ (which are based on PEG parsing)?

I would like to elaborate a bit on the specific differences/benefits between the many MD parsers. (I’m maintaining an inventory of Markdown resources in a repo on Github.⁴)

All of the competition can only be good for us developers. This, ST3, Light Table, Brackets, etc. Bring on the text editor wars!

Meanwhile, vim and emacs are sitting in the corner and quietly snickering.

Yeah. This whole thing (an endless supply of stream-of-consciousness style blog posts about one new editor after the other - first that one where the dev sold unlimited upgrades and then didn't bother to release a new version (can't remember the name), this Sublime Text thing, lighting table or whatever it's called, and for example the bruha around this 'neovim' fad) is like watching a bunch of ricers argue over whether a red spoiler will make your Acura go faster than a blue spoiler, and doing that from your 2013 7-series BMW and wondering 'what are these people talking about'.

Apple's 30% cut

Not to mention the amount of features they'd have to remove in order to comply with Apple's standards.

Would its plugin / scripting library even be allowed? I don't know the specifics of the OSX app store rules.
