Gregory's ServerLast year, I wrote the worst text-editor imaginable, in assembly.
A little over a year later of daily use, it has become the most fun and most beautiful text editor I could have never dreamed of.

@zens yeah, you build the house, the ceiling and everything, then you redo the foundations while standing on the roof. Please give me a reason to stay up later and find out how you did that wizardry. and anything interesting you've learned specifically about text editor creation. @krowemoh A reason? for play. Because text-editors are always compromises, and they all suck in different ways, make one that at least sucks in the way that you chose.

@neauoire After overwriting all original lines that weren't written on itself, is it the *same* editor? If one goes to the version control system, picks up all the left lines (pun intended) and composes a text editor, the newly formed one is the same editor as the current? 👻  @neauoire Further proof that if we were all paid to do whatever we wanted many more things would be created quickly than right now. What I've done in the last year at my job is pointless in comparison @dualhammers That's for sure, I wish more people could just chase their own little weird interests, the world would be a better place for it.  |
It's kind of weird to think about this but, I wrote every single line of this editor, with the editor itself. Don't ask me to explain how I did this-
