Acknowledgements

  • The editor was made possible by the fantastic Jai programming language by Jonathan Blow.

  • The editor was inspired by Jamie Brandon's blog post. Nothing other than the name was borrowed from his editor - the name was just too good.

  • I am very grateful to my wife who supported me along the way and took on the bigger share of the housework to let me work on the editor.

  • A special thanks to the two early adopters who helped to make the editor more robust and more enjoyable to use: @cookednick and @ustance.

  • The default font FiraCode is created by Nikita Prokopov.

  • Icons - Font Awesome by Dave Gandy.

  • If not for VSCode's annoying "restart to apply the latest update" notifications every other day, this editor might never have been created.
