Ijk: A real editor for real programmers

announcements
1

As my first Rust product, I've started my editor development a month ago and today I decided to announce the project toward you great Rustaceans.

https://github.com/akiradeveloper/ijk

The concept is like a son of vi and vscode. The editor is TUI on top of termion but has a directory explorer and tab like structure called navigator which you can access to works in progress and switch between them.

The project still has a lot to do including highlighting and integration with language server. But if you like the concept of my editor, I love your likes.

Thank you for your attention.

I definitely interpreted it as a joke, although other people might not have the same reaction I did.

Thank to all of you for having interest to my project.

I posted here 9 days ago and worked hard. It is now 4.4k code. Still lots to do though. The demo movie is on the Github page I will update occasionally.

Thank you again for your attention.
