# nite

Nite is (will soon be) a GUI code editor with a vim-ish feel.

It's intended to be an (almost) drop-in replacement for Neovim, aside from nite being a GUI app, which means having items listed in the [TODO](#todo) paragraph.

## TODO

The following list of features and tasks required to have them is highly opinionated and consists of things I want a code editor to have.

- [ ] Barebones editor
    * [x] Make it compile
    * [x] Treesitter
    * [x] Scrolling
    * [ ] Cursor
- [ ] Vim-like keybindings and motions
- [ ] A Telescope-ey file finder
- [ ] Something like [harpoon](https://github.com/theprimeagen/harpoon) and maybe a topbar with marks
- [ ] LSP client (note: [async-lsp](https://docs.rs/async-lsp))
- [ ] Popup terminal (note: [kitti3](https://github.com/LandingEllipse/kitti3))
- [ ] Workspace splitting
- [ ] (optional) Git integration

## Info on [ming]

Ming is a GPU-accelerated native UI framework.

It is planned to have full Linux support and (maybe) a Material 3 implementation.

## Credits

A **LOT** of code (including: crates/util, crates/ming*) is taken from [the Zed codebase](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed) precisely at commit [c90263d].

Also, [ming] is a "fork" (blatant copy with no intent of syncing upstream changes) of [gpui], also made by the Zed team for use in Zed.
