- robin_reala 4y agoInteresting. For me lines are for writeability, not readability. Is there any research on this?
- omar_alt 4y agoI found it significant for readability but have only seen it so far in github gists. I use vim and sometimes sublime text so a plugin could probably insert a faint line per row similar to how it is done indicate character length.
- flobosg 4y agoThat’s a good question. I’m not an expert, but lines could probably contribute to the vertical rhythm.
- omar_alt 4y agoYes it would be significant for me, inserting a one pixel thick faint grey horizontal line per row in vimscript should be possible
- MarcusE1W 4y agoI create a theme for Atom with lines once. Maybe that can be some inspiration? https://github.com/MarcusE1W/eastend-notebook-syntax https://github.com/MarcusE1W/eastend-notebook-syntax
- truckerbill 4y agoWould this be easy to convert to vscode? I've never looked at theming either before.
- viccuad 4y agoGedit (and Gnome Builder, etc) do this.
