With only 2.4 MB on idle (depends on your device) at my phone it's can be lightweight
I add some relaxing colors to it
I add basic cmd so you won't have to get a Ph.D to learn it
It has LSP support like Helix
It's TUI
It can suggest you what to do to relax
It can run foreground task
Here's the cmd palette
-s save
-d debug
-i information
-h help
-bro! Break generator
sh Bash cmd
new make file
code edit acess file
switch switch to other file
lsp activate LSP
acel run foreground task or if sh ain't work use acel
Acel is a typo, pls don't judge it
I selected a bit different way, my IDE is 100% web based. Generally, I run it on Raspberry Pi and then use in a tablet. But I am excited to see new IDEs here, especially yours. Keep your good work.
I’ve had a look at the repository, and one thing that struck me as a negative was that a large part of the README consists of a comparison with a number of other editors/IDEs. On the one hand, the comparison is very superficial – essentially, it’s just marketing bashing – and on the other hand, this naturally fails to adequately highlight the real advantages of your editor. The whole thing also falls flat simply because of its superficiality. Your solution is most closely comparable to Helix or Neovim, though to be honest, you’re not doing yourself any favours by drawing that comparison. You’re trying to be the same as Helix, namely the ‘better’ Neovim. However, Neovim and Helix have more features, more developers and a more established user base. Does ELIDE, for example, have plugin/extension support, and if so, how is this implemented? It’s as if an apprentice were trying to explain to a master craftsman with ten years’ professional experience why they’re better. The comparison with GUI editors also falls short. Editors like VSCode or Android Studio are notoriously slower, simply because an entire GUI engine is running alongside them. This registers as a separate service with the window manager and wants to communicate directly with the graphics card. Comparing GUI applications with TUI applications doesn’t make sense. This comparison takes up a huge chunk of your documentation, in which you haven’t really talked much about your own product yet. You know, ELIDE, the editor you developed. I’ve had a look at the features and, to be honest, the most interesting ones right now are the SSH tunnels and the separate desktop and mobile views. That’s basically brilliant, because I wouldn’t know how else to work comfortably on my mobile using the desktop version of Neovim on my main computer. Otherwise, only VSCode really has a proper SSH connection to remote devices. VSCode is a desktop application, so I might as well just use Neovim.
Your editor certainly isn’t bad. At the same time, you’re only just getting started. Sharpen your profile. Focus on what makes ELIDE truly special and good. If ELIDE is still around in two or three years’ time, you can still say, “Hey Helix lads, you could do with taking a leaf out of my book.”
I don’t think you’ve understood the criticism. It's not about you picking a fight with the Helix developers; it's about the fact that you don't provide enough detail about the editor you've developed in your documentation. To be honest, your reply gives me the impression that an LLM such as ChatGPT wrote it, not you.
sorry everyone. I did let this post through even though I had my suspicions... At this point I think it's safe to say that you're at best getting multi-paragraph responses that the user generated from a few bullet points, or worse, just entirely automatic responses. Feel free to flag such things early, we have the option of forcing the user to do a manual edit before they can post again, which we've had some good successes with either nudging ppl to stop sending LLM text or having them never respond again
