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. @neauoire you start with the spire, and the top floor elevator. then build the rest of the sky scraper 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? 👻 @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-
