I've *really* fallen in love with the https://lite-xl.com/ editor
It's so god damn snappy compared to the electron-bs I was on before

I mean, sure - even kate is snappy compared to M$'s little toybox editor but LiteXL?
It's actually *snappy* - It feels like *well made software* - and that makes me extremely happy

I'd like to see more of this happen, like with Psst for Spotify etcetc....

LiteXL doesn't nuke my laptop either!!
Also, ram usage is usually less than 15 megs!

Have been #JetBrains dropped the ball this year?

I believe so. They have hard pushing for their AI thing, while ignoring the performance and features of their aging IDE frameworks and JAVA. Container support is still sketchy. Their plugin ecosystem is a mess.

There are far better alternatives, from the ubiquitous #VSCode and #VSCodium, to the performant #Zed, and some great alternatives like #Pulsar and #LiteXL.

Started new small project for my current code editor lite-xl. Goal is to create plugin browser website that would replace the readme on their git. You can try alfa build here: https://mobilex1122.eu/miniprojects/lite-xlp/

So I changed the wallpaper file. It works like a fucking charm. #LiteXL never ran (or at least displayed) so smoothly on this machine before. Would recommend.

It sure can be weird to find out where a system is robust and where it's fragile.

Three weeks passed since I did a new release for the #LiteXL editor for #AmigaOS4 and #MorphOS, and I just managed to find some time to write a few words about it. Please have a look at https://ko-fi.com/post/Lite-XL-v2-1-3r1-released-some-time-ago-W7W0W6E3M and find out all the new features and bug fixes that are included

Last Friday, I restarted doing my weekly live streams on #Twitch. If you missed it, you can find it on YouTube and read my thoughts at https://ko-fi.com/post/Getting-back-to-live-streams-on-Twitch-M4M6VI9D8

#LiteXL, where have you been all my life?

Reiterating my hopeless dream for someone to hack around #LiteXL so that it works and feels like #NotationalVelocity. I can’t get over how small its “keyboard-to-photon ratio” is.

OK, that was kinda fun but silly.

I had to grep source to figure out how to set tabs to 8 where I like them, and then only shows up on relaunch. Editing literal lua source is even dumber than Sublime's JSON files, which are at least documented.

Of course it can't highlight Scheme or LISP or nothin'. Very millennial hipster languages based.

Not a lot of themes. dark puke here was the least bad.

I don't *hate* it, but it's not for me.

Lite XL - A lightweight, simple, fast, feature-filled, and extremely extensible text editor written in C, and Lua, adapted from lite. https://lite-xl.com/ #Dev #Editor #C #Lua #LiteXL

While I was experimenting today with the latest release of @haiku r1beta4, which was released earlier today, I managed to port #LiteXL to it. It is still really premature but seems to work quite well.

I plan to keep on working on this and create a proper release. There is a lot I need to learn about Haiku, but I am really happy I will have my beloved editor to work with.

Not to mention… #LiteXl is Open Source, community developed: http://lite-xl.com

Some more promising, native first approaches: http://lapce.dev (FOSS) and the superteam led http://zed.dev (likely commercial).

#LiteXL is remarkable: 6MB on disk; less than 100MB RAM; simple but capable plugins; color schemes; multiple panes; tidy, customizable interface; responsive from cold-start in a couple of secs. Sure, needs work around wrapping, unicode substitution, plugin ecosystem.

The best of my #LiteXL releases for #AmigaOS4 and #MorphOS happened a few minutes ago, bringing a lot of new features and fixes, making it more complete and stable than ever. If you haven't tried it yet, you need to do it. Find more info at https://ko-fi.com/post/LiteXL-2-1-0r1-release-A0A4FLYNG #developers

Today I released #LiteXL v2.0.3r2 not only for #AmigaOS4 but also for #MorphOS for the first time. Go on, grab it and give it a try. It is awesome. You can find more info on this at https://ko-fi.com/post/LiteXL-v2-0-3r2-released-for-AmigaOS-4-1-FE-and-Mo-Y8Y3DC8SD #amigaos #development #Editor

Hope they learn from the opinionated approach of SublimeText and include some important plugins out of the box… #LiteXL

Quite impressed with the perceived speed of #LiteXL and the potential of its plugin ecosystem. It’s early days, but could eventually become a solid alternative to @sublimehq@twitter.com and @code@twitter.com → https://lite-xl.com/
