Very likely that Github bought SublimeText.
And then promptly rewrote the entire thing in Node.js? Huh?

#92holy 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

Seems like it has collaborative edit feature as well. Specially the last screenshot.

My first guess was that those are diff markers as you edit.

#94All of the competition can only be good for us developers. This, ST3, Light Table, Brackets, etc. Bring on the text editor wars!
Add LIVEditor [http://liveditor.com], although it's single-purpose is for css, html and js only. It uses Webkit too, but for live preview of css and html changes only, like the real-time effects you can see with Firebug or Dev Tools.

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.

the world needs a new infrastructure for thoughtful documents, including a new text-editor. but from the look of it thus far, this github thing lacks _simplicity,_ by an order of magnitude.

#98I sure hope this will have a rich plugin API and support non-web non-scripting languages as first class citizens. That would make it stand out from most recent editors.

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.
