A great replacement for TextEdit.
Barend
@_yannbertrand do you code in that? 😳
Fred Oliveira
@grooveplex does that matter? For a full-fledged editor you might as well go with something more mature. This _is_ a good replacement for textedit. Probably not so for Vim, Atom or Sublime.
Patrick Harris
@grooveplex @_yannbertrand Code is just text. Programs like these (and others like VS Code, Atom, Sublime etc..) can write code with syntax highlighting but can't run the actual program

Please stop making ide and editors.
Joost Schuur
@alexintosh Why? This one seems to have a fairly well defined goal: start fast.
Jonathan Alpay
@joostschuur @alexintosh And it does well. We need to improve any IDE to have a perfect one.
Jean-Philippe Murray
@joostschuur Sublime Text 3 does that too.
Sam Hagman
@curieuxmurray @joostschuur Sublime Text 3 is not free (without a popup) and has way more functionality than a developer needs when opening a text file just to see what's in it. If I actually want to code I open up IntelliJ, but when I just want to look at a file, I reach for Atom. I find Atom still a little much and not instant to start if I truly just want to browse a file. This looks perfect for that niche.

@hagmansam I honestly didn't think about the paid/free part here, I'm just used to have ST, so sorry for that ;-) Still, you've got a solid point on the fact that, quick like this is, for just opening files and seeing in it, it's just great. I currently even use ST as my go to text editor, this should replace it!

Probably the best code editor for presentations
Arun Pattnaik
I love how fast this is. A file-list would be a great addition imo.
Garet McKinley
@arunpattnaik This is a feature that will be added in the future (http://help.mediachicken.com/top...). Just ironing out the kinks to make it as powerful as possible before implementing such a large change.

Lovely new code editor for OS X. Comes without your regular powerhouse coding bells & whistles, but it's fast and powerful enough for quick code editing. Has GitHub Gists and small paste sharing and has more intergrations planned.

I didn't think that I had room for yet another code editor, but boy is this one fast. Loaded, parsed and highlighted a 35K line JSON (with code folding) in a flash. Coda II, my old war-horse takes several seconds to do the same.

is small larger than micro? https://www.producthunt.com/tech... 😏

Nice work, this was definitely pretty cool. (Not that I needed another text editor, but it really is slick.)
