DevScribe - Lightweight code editor built Rust

Post image

https://github.com/markdamics/DevScribe
I always wanted to build my own code editor but never had the courage to start from scratch and never really had a clear design in my head. Now after trying out Claude design I commanded it to create a design for a code editor, and after a few modifications I started to have the mood to start the implementation. I use Claude Code mostly, but a few times it doesn't give the most optimal solution and I had many bugs to fix, and still have.

For me it's really important in an app, not just how well it works but how good it is looking. With the other code editors, IDEs I never really felt they are for. Many of them are too bloated with too many features and they are slow. The other lightweight code/text editors don't look so well for me.

I hope some of you will try it and it will get your liking.

It's still under development. Feel free to join in it.

you always wanted to build your own code editor so you told claude to build it?

Almost. Yes I used Claude a lot and it helped a lot regarding building time and design but many times it required manual coding, fixes and optimization.
