konr

Konr is a minimalist, open-source text editor designed for simplicity and efficiency. Created by developer **Konrad Barski**, it is written in Rust and emphasizes a clean, distraction-free interface with keyboard-driven navigation. The editor is lightweight, making it suitable for users who prefer a streamlined experience without unnecessary features.

Konr operates on a single-file-per-document model, where each file is represented by a tab. It supports syntax highlighting for various programming languages and includes basic text manipulation functions such as search, replace, and undo/redo. The editor also features a built-in terminal for running commands without leaving the application, which is useful for developers working with code.

One of Konr’s key strengths is its fast performance, thanks to Rust’s memory safety and speed optimizations. It lacks a traditional GUI, instead relying on a terminal-based interface, which appeals to users who favor command-line tools. The editor is cross-platform, running on Linux, macOS, and Windows via the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

Konr is distributed under the MIT License, allowing for easy customization and integration into other workflows. While it may not include advanced features found in larger editors like Visual Studio Code or Sublime Text, its simplicity and speed make it a viable choice for developers and writers who prioritize efficiency. The project is actively maintained, with regular updates addressing user feedback and improving functionality.
