CW: Article: A Selfhosted Static Site Editor
Inspired by the way that Nekoweb's editor 'Nekode' works, I came up with a low-effort way to let my eldest get started with HTML and CSS editing, right from her browser, with the results selfhosted directly from the household NAS.

thank you everyone for your thoughtful and constructive suggestions over the last period, as we have been considering FORTH.
it seems the scene is very active, and has lots of ideas.

# TI-FORTH Screen Editor
"You will find here a new screen oriented editor for TI-Forth.
For people with other systems, TI-Forth is a fig-forth with some
computer specific extensions. The goal was to write a small
editor with a lot of futures, like autorepeating keys, overtype
and insert, some limited form of cut-and-paste, single-stepping
through source, execution of Forth from editor. Results are
below. Compiled code adds below 2K to system stuff".https://tuhs.superglobalmegacorp.com/Unix_Usenet/comp.sources.unix/1985-November/004781.html

On Windows and Linux / BSDs desktops+WINE I use TextPad (sort, diff, grep functions); customisable syntax highlighting included with 3rd party contributions. Not an IDE, but its been my GUI text editor of choice since 1996.
On *nix boxes, I like classic
vi(1)(Bostic'snvi) (not vim) anded(1); the shell is your IDE. There are now at least 2vimclassic hard forks that have ripped the AI slop if you still want vim. See also here -
I'm rebuilding #zedless from the ground up. Editing the source code directly made it impossible to keep up with upstream due to the hundreds of merge conflicts I would encounter with every update. Now I'm switching to AST editing with #astgrep and #treesitter.
The patch code is available at https://github.com/zedless-editor/zedless-patches. In its current state, it can build Zed v0.225.10 with reduced telemetry, no auto updates, and some of the proprietary AI integrations removed.
The plan is to get rid of all telemetry and nuisances such as upsell popups, as well as all online functionality that is specifically tied to a particular provider, leaving you with an editor that stays out of your way and doesn't rely on any services you couldn't host yourself.

Easier Than Nano! Fresh is a Fresh New Rust-based Terminal Editor
“Fresh is a new Rust-based terminal text editor that takes a different approach. It uses standard keybindings like Ctrl+S for saving, Ctrl+F for searching, and Ctrl+Z for undoing. It works like a GUI editor but runs in your terminal.”

🎻 Ah, the age-old tale of ditching #Vim for #Helix because configuring is hard. 🎻 Witness the bold adventurer, who bravely attempts to #escape the clutches of Vimscript, only to write a #novella about replacing one terminal text editor with another. 🤦♂️

Seems like M$ is determined to ruin VSCode with all that copilot crap. I've moved to Codium on my work machine today. I wouldn't be surprised if 2025 turned out to be the year I finally quit GUI editors for good and moved to NeoVim.

How-To Geek: Microsoft’s New Text Editor Is a Vim and Nano Alternative. “Microsoft just released ‘Edit’ as a new command-line text editor, which will soon be a built-in Windows application. It’s inspired by the MS-DOS Edit program from the 1990s, and it’s already open-source software.”
