Pulsar Edit

A Community-led Hyper-Hackable Text Editor

Welcome to Pulsar

Pulsar, a Community-led Hyper-Hackable Text Editor

Pulsar, or sometimes referred to as Pulsar-Edit is a new image of the beloved 'Hackable Text Editor' Atom.

After the announcement of Atom's sunset, the community came together to keep Atom alive via the longstanding fork Atom-Community.

However, due to differences in long-term goals for the editor, a new version was born: Pulsar.

Pulsar aims to not only reach feature parity with the original Atom, but to bring Pulsar into the 21st century by updating the underlying architecture, and supporting modern features.

With many new features on the roadmap, once Pulsar is stable, it will be a true, Community-Based, Hackable, Text Editor.

For where to contribute or where our progess is right now there are these as starting points that we recommend:
