Jollpi — a Python 2 + GTK 2 text editor originally released in 2010 on SourceForge and downloaded in 23 countries.
In 2025, it’s back — fully rewritten from scratch:
• Python 3.13 + GTK4.18 + GtkSourceView5
• ~60MB startup RAM
• Async & cancelable loading engine
• Only 3 core dependencies
• New install.sh with dependency checks
• Modern Python packaging (pyproject.toml)
