Got some work done on the code editor in the algorave software I'm working on. Pending inserts/deletes have green/red bg (allows "local commits" in the doc). It has colored text, and also stretches text based on caret proximity.

oh and I'm using @TodePond 's splash colour format (https://www.todepond.com/lab/splash/), and I extended it to 4 components (red, green, blue and shake)
@sqx @TodePond shake is my favourite colour
@rogerduran @TodePond a color gradient from 0000 to 9999, adding 3211 for each A (it's definitely not commentary on the current state of the world or anything)
