tim-tm / lightwrite Goto Github PK

This is a really simple GUI-based text editor, which is based on the dramatic editor ded, developed by tsoding, a twitch streamer known for recreational programming. As of right now, lightwrite is using his approach of handling file-content. Even though the code for managing files is not exactly the same, lightwrite will at least use the same datastructures.

• Written in plain C.
• lightweight (as the name implies)
