  Seems like to be a Sublime Text clone in webkit?
  • icpmacdo 13y ago
    Maybe an announcement that git bought sublime and this is the web launch of it. I would be so excited if that happened.
    • yefim 13y ago
      You cannot be serious.
    • beefsack 13y ago
      The ST builds mysteriously stopped recently (ST3 beta and dev), which is a bit ominous.
      • thejosh 13y ago
        Considering that ST is barely ever worked on, not really. Maybe a few spouts. I love sublime, if it wasn't for the awesome plugins I probably would have ditched it. :)
        • alexfreska 13y ago
          Exact reason why I think this is great news, it will likely be a more actively developed version of what ST is now... plus some extras
      • sleepyhead 13y ago
        ST development have presumably been stopped numerous times so nothing new about that. Atom have been in the works for at least six months.
      • czottmann 13y ago
        I take this as a hint of the author going underground for the next 6+ months, then reappearing and announcing ST4. </snark>

  looks like light table
• arunoda 13y ago
  Seems like it has collaborative edit feature as well. Specially the last screenshot.
  • Uupis 13y ago
    My first guess was that those are diff markers as you edit.
• Kequc 13y ago
  I love the edit markers in the last screenshot. But too skeptical about the performance of a text editor running in webkit. All of my experiences writing text online have been bad. So the jump into using webkit for an entire dev environment fills me with dread.
  • danabramov 13y ago
    Have you used LightTable? It's quite fast as the editor. I'm sure Atom is similarly fast. It doesn't run in the browser; it just uses WebKit as the engine.
    • jbeja 13y ago
      Light table is only fast is you are a slow writer, the vim mode in it is painfully slow. Webkit base editors like LT and Brackest are unusable to me.
      • Morgawr 13y ago
        I'm a pretty fast writer and I never had any problem with LightTable's vim mode. Maybe it's just me though, I don't know.
        • adambard 13y ago
          The nice thing about Vim mode is that it glosses over latency by making simple edits take fewer keystrokes. It's sort of why vi was invented. In the words of Bill Joy himself: > ... you've got to remember that I was trying to make it usable over a 300 baud modem. That's also the reason you have all these funny commands. It just barely worked to use a screen editor over a modem. It was just barely fast enough. A 1200 baud modem was an upgrade. 1200 baud now is pretty slow. > 9600 baud is faster than you can read. 1200 baud is way slower. So the editor was optimized so that you could edit and feel productive when it was painting slower than you could think. Now that computers are so much faster than you can think, nobody understands this anymore.

  FYI, it's not WebKit but Chromium I'm betting, based on the crash reporting. If you want an idea of performance, Edge Code from Adobe will provide an answer. Oh and there's a welcome repo with an IRC channel listed. Atom.io just says "nope" for me but is likely its future home.

  Some more... * https://atom.io/assets/screenshot-main@2x-e0b7c5a0be2ef13348a35ae65164b1ce.png https://atom.io/assets/screenshot-main@2x-e0b7c5a0be2ef13348... * https://atom.io/assets/screenshot-native-web@2x-2842562f47572e00bb6b693b836a3a52.gif https://atom.io/assets/screenshot-native-web@2x-2842562f4757... The second seems to confirm this being web based.

  • lazyatom 13y ago
    It confirms it as being Webkit based, but not necessarily that it is running on the web.
• IE5point5 13y ago
  ugh why has it inherited that atrocious ST find box
• donwil92 13y ago
  Found a few more. https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/69169/1625945/b216d7b8-56d9-11e3-8b14-6afc33467be9.png https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/69169/1625945/b216d7b8-56d... https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/69169/1625938/a859fa70-56d9-11e3-8b2a-ac37c5033159.png https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/69169/1625938/a859fa70-56d... https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/671378/2241254/23bc3d0c-9cc8-11e3-80fe-68f58316a52a.png https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/671378/2241254/23bc3d0c-9c...
