Text Forge was never intended to be *just another text editor*. From the beginning, it’s been driven by ideas like **modularity**, **simplicity**, and **user empowerment**. But what do those values actually mean in real-world development? Here’s what shaped its direction: - An editor should adapt to the user — not the other way around - Every feature should exist for a reason, not just for bulk - Pick anything you want, but **Just** when you want - Design should remain open, transparent, and language-agnostic Now I’d love to hear your thoughts: - What philosophies or principles matter most to you when building or using development tools? - What defines a *meaningful* or *enjoyable* editing experience for you? - How do you think Text Forge should evolve as a tool and as a mindset? What's most important philosophies in its development road? Whether you’re a developer, a power user, or just curious about software design, jump in — your perspective helps shape what this project becomes.
