It's a bit rubbish.
It is written in the Amiga style of every-byte-matters though. If it wasn't for the embedded Python interpreter, the entire install would be about 300k.

It sounds like you're focusing on programmers, and I think they'll get the nostalgia of "remember the days when every byte mattered?" With the 1TB drive in my laptop I don't actually care about app size, but I love that you have a 1MB text editor in the days of Electron-based hipster minimalist text editors that are over 400MB. The story in your release notes about resisting adding a hi-res Vista icon because you thought 260KB for an icon was obscene, that story is both hilarious and awesome :) It looks like this is mostly just a fun project for you, but as a potential user I'd love to see more screenshots, an EXE installer option instead of .zip, and a big download button on the front page so I don't have to dig through the site to find how to download. But most of all, I think it's hilarious/awesome to see a text editor with a "Frames Per Second" meter! :)
- abainbridge 10y agoThanks. Hilarious/awesome is about what I was aiming for. Your comments are very sensible. I'll see what I can do.
