In the next version of CodeEdit...

Editors reflect external file changes! If your file is modified by another program on your machine, CodeEdit will intelligently reload any open editors to show you the most up-to-date version of that file.

In the next version of CodeEdit...

Invisible characters and warning characters!

Invisible characters render whitespace in your editor, including tabs, spaces, newlines, and more. Warning characters warn of potentially dangerous characters like the zero-width space.

CodeEdit remembers your cursors, undo stack, selections, and file positions when switching editors, even across sessions. Close your workspace and pick up exactly where you left off next time.

More nitty gritty code folding details in @codeedit.app. Now that I have the data model done I'm working on making sure the ribbon drawing is perfect. Now, adjacent lines draw with a horizontal line, and collapsed folds inside hovered folds nicely clip to a matched, round, border for clarity. #swift

This was seriously hard to orchestrate, but I finally have code folding working while typing in @codeedit.app. The issue I was facing was remembering folded regions while editing text, and doing it efficiently.

Now all thats left is a few drawing issues and a smooth animation! #swift

Getting to work on a minimap for @codeedit.app! Really happy with the progress already.

Internally, the minimap uses the same text layout system as our custom Swift text view. But, instead of rendering text it renders little dots!

Next up is making it interactive, and more flexible.
