It makes me sad to see these kinds of efforts in 2023. It just seems very likely that we will have various advancements in AI (for example Hey GitHub) for input methods/ text-editing before this reaches to an MVP stage. While even 5 years ago I would choose Emacs and split ergonomic keyboards over any other cool new solution, I feel like recent developments in AI are just too good.
- brabel 4y agoHow exactly do you expect advancements in AI to make this kind of project redundant?
- yewenjie 4y agoIt's not about making it fully redundant, but more about taking away a good chunk of the critical mass of users. If you could manipulate code by just voice or if you can write entire programs by natural language descriptions, would you really need a very capable and extensible text editor most of the time? Just for context, I'm an Emacs user for almost my entire programming career. And I enjoy crafting my Emacs for speed and efficiency.
