Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.
Notepad3
- Name some underrated open source apps
- Notepad3: Notepad like text editor based on the Scintilla source code
-
Frontend developers: stop moving things that I’m about to click on
I use Notepad3 to stay as close to vanilla as possible but to fix the idiotic drawbacks of Windows Notepad.
- GrepWinNP3 – Regular expression search and replace for Windows
-
Notepad Next
Notepad3 is actively maintained and has many improvements, BTW.
-
A line counter in the Notepad app would be useful for developers and the creation of lists (Concept)
The current, active continuation is Notepad3: https://github.com/rizonesoft/Notepad3

i'm going to alias vi to nano on all our production servers
I prefer the lighter replacements (notepad2, notepad3, metapad) on Windows, simply because Notepad++ seems to always have something to update when I start it on a server. Otherwise it's fine, but not a CLI editor.
-
We finally get to see Windows 11 today - What are your hopes?
Already using notepad3 on my systems but that doesn't help when remoting to somewhere else.
-
Is Notepad2 a dead project?
If you run into any other issues they have an active github https://github.com/rizonesoft/Notepad3/issues and the developer seems to fix things quickly.

Zed is now open source
Was confused until I realised I'd confused Zed, with Xi[1] which is also rust based, and which incidentally has a frontend called "Xim"..
Also there's a wiki-editor (like Tomboy[2]) called "Zim"[3].

Text Editor: Data Structures
Project site linked from the GitHub[0] is https://xi-editor.io. Linked doc is a mirror of this[1], which was afaik originally written by Raph Linus.

The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Must Know About Unicode in 2023
> thing that gets deleted when you hit backspace
Is there a canonical source for this part, by the way? Xi copied the logic from Android[1] (as per the issue you linked downthread), and I vaguely remember that CLDR had something to say about this too, but I don’t know if there’s any sort of consensus here that’s actually written down anywhere.
- Google abandons work to move Assistant smart speakers to Fuchsia
-
What's is a rusty way to implement sharable trees?
This is pretty much how copy-on-write ropes work. Check out xi-rope, Ropey or crop, they're all built using B-trees and implement the behavior you described.
-
Helix (a Kakoune / Neovim inspired editor) 23.03
Helix is awesome, though once Lapce (spiritual successor to Xi editor) gets the Helix/Kakoune editing model, I may have to jump ship
-
Editors written in rust
Home (xi-editor.io)
-
How to share resources between instances of program?
Maybe take a look at the Xi editor (https://xi-editor.io/) (written in rust I think) that uses a client server architecture.
-
Suitable Rust GUI Library for Code Editor?
Have a look at what Lapce uses. The editor is coming along nicely, and iirc, they use the Xi editor as a plug-in.

CRDTs make multiplayer text editing part of Zed's DNA
Raph Levien posted a retrospective about using CRDT’s for collaborative editing in xi-editor here [1]. His conclusion is
“I come to the conclusion that the CRDT is not pulling its (considerable) weight. When I think about a future evolution of xi-editor, I see a much brighter future with a simpler, largely synchronous model, that still of course has enough revision tracking to get good results with asynchronous peers like the language server.”
