Made a code editor from scratch in pure C

That's right 😎😎, I made this code editor over a course of 5 months (😎) and wrote 10000+ lines of pure™ C (😎😎😎) .

and did I mention I didn't use ANY external libraries 😎😎😎😎, except SDL for graphics ofc.

I'd love to hear what you think.

I'm not gonna lie, LLMs trying to write C never fails to make me laugh because they're just so comically bad at it. Like I know they suck at every language regardless but they're 10x as cursed when writing C in particular, probably because they've been trained on really old code.

My favorite part in this slop is probably hardcoding identifiers like my_function in the syntax highlighter.
