Top 17 Rust text-editor Projects

text-editor

  1. zed

    Code at the speed of thought โ€“ Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor from the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter.

    Project mention: Pyrefly | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-29

    I have some sympathies with the parent post as Zed is my daily driver and I mostly write Python. Pyright is horrible to work with, tons of false positives. Parent poster - you might find this useful: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/24801

    Project mention: OpenVSX, which VSCode forks rely on for extensions, down for 24 hours | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-24

    Lots of vim/emacs mentions so I feel obliged to mention Helix (https://helix-editor.com/). Used neovim for _years_, tried Helix for a few weeks and never looked back

  4. lapce

    Lightning-fast and Powerful Code Editor written in Rust

    Project mention: OpenVSX, which VSCode forks rely on for extensions, down for 24 hours | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-24

  6. gnvim

    GUI for neovim, without any web bloat

  7. kibi

    Project mention: Kibi โ€“ A text editor in less than 1024 lines of code, written in Rust | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-11-12

    https://github.com/ilai-deutel/kibi

    the repo is here btw. i appreciate that the dependency tree is appropriately minimal. also impressive how many comments are included in the source. Maybe theyโ€™re not counted towards the LOC?

  8. iota

    A terminal-based text editor written in Rust

  9. InfluxDB

    InfluxDB high-performance time series database. Collect, organize, and act on massive volumes of high-resolution data to power real-time intelligent systems.

  14. kashiki2

    ็‚Š็ด™(kashikishi) is a text editor that utilizes GPU to edit text in a 3D space.

    Project mention: ็‚Š็ด™(kashikishi) is a text editor that utilizes GPU to edit text in a 3D space | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-10-03

    I like that "(experimental) psychedelic mode, for when you are feeling resigned":

    https://github.com/mitoma/kashiki2?tab=readme-ov-file#%E5%AE...

    This kind of effect works especially well for Japanese, with its curved strokes inside square character boxes.

  15. kyun

    The worst text editor (yet)

  16. glyph

    My own personal code editor built with Rust + OpenGL (by zackradisic)
