Just found https://github.com/acheronfail/xi-electron https://github.com/acheronfail/xi-electron but actually I was more thinking of running the whole editor in the browser, not just the frontend.
- electricslpnsld 9y agoDo any of the latency advantages of Xi carry over if you wrap it all up in Electron? The Electron editors do pretty badly on this front [1]. [1] https://pavelfatin.com/typing-with-pleasure/ https://pavelfatin.com/typing-with-pleasure/
- raphlinus 9y agoI haven't started measuring it yet, but plan to. The idea of keeping the UI component light and doing all the heavy lifting in the core _might_ work well in Electron (as opposed to having all the logic in JS), and xi-electron is a good testbed for exploring that.
