I had this bright idea in 2019 (back in the before times) to build a code editing tool almost completely from scratch, that I've been working on off and on since then (though I guess recently its been more off than on).
Mostly just because I thought it be fun and because pretty much all the desktop apps I've done over the years, were built with someone else's tools and for a single platform, so wanted to do something new to me at least. This one is cross platform between Windows and Linux, though Linux is the primary platform because Windows development is more annoying IMO, and with custom UI.
All in C++ too because that's what I know, none of this Electron silliness, and with minimal dependencies. Uses Skia for graphics, and I've got a WASM interpreter library I'm looking to experiment with for doing an extension API when I get to that point.
