I am creating a new text editor for linux. I dont want it to become 'yet another text editor'. Nor do I want the hassle of creating an IDE. My idea is somewhere in between. I do acknowledge that with the introduction of AI assisted coding, editors must have such features. Hence, one of the first things incorporated is Codex. I have a basic idea of where I want development to go(https://github.com/Logic-gate/cleaf/milestones). I am interested in testing the idea with random people. All types of criticism is welcomed.

Always a good exercise to implement a text editor, every programmer should have tried it. And I always try using new ones, curious to find something exciting.

Sorry, but it looks exactly like Zed.

And I'm not going to try out Zed again until they finally introduce auto-save, which Sublime has had for a long time and Emacs had since last century (because losing a file hurts you more than GPU rendering pleases you).

Where are those "big ideas"?
