InternetCitizen2What less popular text editors do you like or should have a shout out more often? What stuff do you do with it?
Daeraxa- Helix for terminal editing because I never got on well with the order you had to do thing in Vim, Helix (and Kakoune) make more sense to me.
- Lite-XL for a lightweight GUI editor. I just think its neat.
- Pulsar for everything else (mainly because I’m involved with it, come visit us on Lemmy at [email protected] /shill).

As someone who studied radio astronomy, thanks for telling me about Pulsar.
I’ve been wanting to get more and more thematic with naming things but my efforts haven’t come to fruit just yet. Like we have “regular” and “rolling” releases but those are boring (although descriptive), I was proprosing something like Nebula and Quasar, you know, something that ties in with the space name.
Pulsar looked really nice until I realised it’s just a other electron app. But will probably give lite-xl a try
neo (he/him)pretty sure pulsar is a fork of atom, one of the og electron packages
It is indeed, we picked up where Atom left off. And yeah, not just “one of” but the og electron app.
It absolutely isn’t “another electron app” in that sense. Atom (and now Pulsar) literally invented Electron, it is the original Electron app to the point where even thinking about de-coupling it isn’t really possible. Electron literally used to be called “Atom-shell”.
Woah! Atom-shell = electron. I’m dumb and the connection was just made.
