Here's Bitters: a text editor heavily inspired by the Canon Cat. Been heaving loads of fun building it. m15o.net/bitters/ #theWorkshop

@m15o 🙌 Glad to see you build a text-editor!

@neauoire thank you! Reading uxn & left's code was such a great help :)

@m15o omg! I was on a deep dive of Canon Cat these days and wondering if someone had made something inspired by it that run on modern hardware. That is amazing.

@m15o the source appears to be private in sourcehut, or at least I'm getting an error when switching to the source tab.

@m15o this is amazing.

I suspect it might need some tweaking to handle Macbook's hidpi screen and stuff.

Still, this is damn great!

m15o

@soapdog ouch hahaha :D Thanks, really appreciate you trying it out!

@m15o I'll keep an eye for it, if you need any testing on macOS, just ping me.

I'm going to see if I can run it on Haiku later.

@soapdog wow, thank you so much! Will do :)

@m15o FINALLY someone made it. I'm so glad!

I can help with macOS testing too. I can also help with testing rendering Cyrillic fonts, if your editor supports them (I would love it did).

@bouncepaw thank you! Definitely seems like there is some rendering problems on newer macs! Unfortunately Bitters doesn't have proper font support for now, it just draws pixels on the screen and is limited to the ascii table. Perhaps in the next fonts / i18n can be added!
