xi-editor VS brackets

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].

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.

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.

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 is awesome, though once Lapce (spiritual successor to Xi editor) gets the Helix/Kakoune editing model, I may have to jump ship

Maybe take a look at the Xi editor (https://xi-editor.io/) (written in rust I think) that uses a client server architecture.

Have a look at what Lapce uses. The editor is coming along nicely, and iirc, they use the Xi editor as a plug-in.

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.”

Brackets (http://brackets.io/)

Brackets

I recommend using a separate code editor and not the neocities one. Brackets and VSCodium (VSCode but separated from Microsoft) are pretty good ones https://brackets.io/ https://vscodium.com/

Please download the latest version from https://brackets.io/

Brackets Brackets, an open-source HTML editor by Adobe, is specifically designed for web designers and developers. Its inline editor allows you to make quick edits to your HTML code, providing instant feedback. Brackets also offers a live preview feature that updates in real-time as you edit your HTML files, making it easy to see the changes as you go. Additionally, with its extensive extension library, Brackets can be tailored to suit your unique needs.

this is the original brackets https://brackets.io/

not sure why ianyanusko is naming his app bracket, just trying to confuse people

To get started with CSS, you need a text editor and a web browser. There are many free and paid text editors available, such as Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, and Brackets. I would highly recommend using Visual Studio Code as it’s free and easy to use and customise. By using a web browser of your choice, you can view your HTML and CSS files and see how your website looks.
