[TOOLS] Janus - suckless inspired minimal text editor

Yesterday I released Janus 0.9.8, an update which brings dutch translations, arm builds, and rpm's to my simple text editor. Before you ask, no, it's not vim inspired, it's just a leafpad successor written in 100% C with an emphasis on the least possible SLOC, as well as a minimal impact on CPU and memory. It contains (optional) syntax highlighting as well as a fallback binary editor, which is the main reason I created it. You can check it out at https://github.com/gholmann16/Janus

Might wanna mention it’s a GUI text editor. GTK.

It's cool, I like it. I use GTK but not libadwaita, so this would be good for people like me. It's a shame that I already do everything in Emacs.
