Quark - the editor the world doesn't need

Introduction

Quark is an editor written in Haskell that started as a learning project with the aim to replace nano with something similarly simple and clean, but somewhat more powerful. It is slightly inspired by Atom, hence the name (in other words quark as in the elementary particle, not the dairy product), as well as a few other editors and IDEs.

Quark is still in it's infancy, but should work in all xterm-256color environments as well as most rxvt-unicode-256 environments (albeit with a few more quirks). Any and all bug reports for these environments are welcome, as are suggestions for UI improvements or added functionality.

Installation

To build and install quark from source:

git clone https://github.com/sjpet/quark.git
cd quark
stack build

After this, you may wish to copy the man page to some suitable location, for example:

sudo cp doc/quark.1 /usr/local/man/man1
