A new form of text editor designed from the ground up for lower precision input devices (e.g. motion sensors, touch screens). Demo video at the url above.
I had issues using mouse and keyboard and gave up programming for six years until the concept behind this hit me. The actual software is an engine/framework for producing particular text editors (I figured I'd need to extend it to in a similar manner to Emacs, so that I could efficiently do, e.g., command line things too). It could also be configured to edit natural language documents for text editing on e.g. mobile devices and VR.
Editing and navigating documents is done, and there's a system built, but not yet attached to the UI, that is effectively a universal autocomplete: you give it an EBNF grammar for some language and it can list all grammatically valid options (that you could insert) from any point in a document. (I'm thinking of extracting and open sourcing that part. Not sure yet, though.)
I worked on it for a year and half, had an increase in medical bills and had to work more—haven't touched it much for a couple years. The copy on the website is oold.
