I’ve been using Emacs as my main code editor for more than a two years. It’s a custom build version although I’ve tried doom emacs and spacemacs for some time.
Previously I used VS Code, Idea, Sublime, Vim, Notepad++ (10 years ago) and I maybe something else which I forgot.
I’ve been playing with idea about writing some bare-bones editor which runs as mix application where you just clone the repository and can extend it as you wish by writing different OTP modules.
Recently, I discovered GitHub - ndreynolds/ratatouille: A TUI (terminal UI) kit for Elixir · GitHub library with a simple DSL to write console applications and decided to give my idea a go.
It’s still an early stage and more like proof of concept but here it is: GitHub - achempion/alice: Text editor · GitHub, I hope to reach stage when it starts to be usable for simple edits.
In order to make consistent progress I decided to also try streaming development and all the issues I’m trying to figure out on twitch channel Twitch, for this year I want to stream each day at CET 8 p.m for an hour or so, would appreciate any feedback.
