  • helix

    A post-modern modal text editor.

  • Still waiting for git integration https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/1623

  • bacon

    background rust code check

  • There is not currently built-in support for "inlay hints". This actually was my main hang-up for a while, but I've been using Helix daily for Rust development for about 3 months, and I've found bacon to be an extremely helpful tool to augment my development. Initially I didn't see the value (doesn't Rust Analyzer do the same thing?), but more often than not bacon will come back with a compiler error before RA has time to think, and it has the benefit of catching all the errors that RA might miss since it is literally running `cargo check`. Helix has LSP support for RA, so while there aren't inlay hints, you can still perform code actions, and get all the non-inlay-related features that RA offers. It's quite a ways away from having feature parity with editors like Vim/Nvim/Kakoune, but even with the features it has today I'm able to efficiently do about 95% of my coding in it. I think if they're able to implement a plugin system and support virtual text (not just for inlays), it will could be a serious alternative for a large number of developers, especially those who use terminal-based editors.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • nvim-tree.lua

    A file explorer tree for neovim written in lua

  • I would really love something like nvim tree or nerd tree. I feel like it should be possible once plug-in support is added.

  • deasciifier

    Automatically restores accented characters from non-accented Turkish text

  • in turkey we collectively said fuck it, people type on regular en keyboard and tools like https://github.com/meacer/deasciifier infer the turkish characters when needed

  • awesome-wasm-langs

    😎 A curated list of languages that compile directly to or have their VMs in WebAssembly

  • It’s planned to use WASM, which would allow to use basically any language you’d want (ok, any lang having a WASM compiler or VM), including Lua.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
