Editorone

Editorone is a cross-platform text editor designed for developers and writers, prioritizing speed, simplicity, and extensibility. It offers a distraction-free editing environment with a command palette, fuzzy file finder, and syntax highlighting for many languages. Key features include multiple cursors, code folding, a built-in terminal, and a live preview mode for Markdown and lightweight markup. The editor emphasizes a minimal UI and keyboard-first workflow, while allowing deep customization through plugins and settings.

It is an open-source project maintained by a community of volunteers and sponsors. The first public release appeared in 2020, with subsequent major versions focusing on performance, accessibility, and collaboration features. Platform support includes Windows, macOS, and Linux. A plugin registry and package manager enable third-party extensions and themes.

Architecture and extensibility: editorone provides a JavaScript-based plugin API, a JSON-based configuration schema, and an event-driven core. Core capabilities include syntax highlighting, code formatting, snippet insertion, Git integration, and remote editing via SSH. Real-time collaboration is available through optional plugins. The project emphasizes fast startup and low memory usage, aiming to appeal to both lightweight editing and larger projects.

Reception and status: Reviewers commonly praise its speed, clean design, and extensibility, while noting a smaller ecosystem compared with more established editors. Some users report initial configuration challenges, which improve with community-made tutorials and updated documentation. The project continues to release updates and invites user contributions.
