Awesome design and concept of editor but sadly useless in practice, I don't see any meaningful benefits from switching from VS-Code to Aurora.
Wesley De Groot
@keinsell thanks for your feedback, we're early in development so things can change. I appreciate the feedback.

@keinsell this seems cruel. Maybe not intended but your choice of words. Anyway, while I also don’t intend switching I can see how if this IDE is good at one thing it could be my preferred IDE for that single thing. Great job with it and good luck.

@keinsell @neoighodaro Thanks, maybe i did not used the best words, we appreciate all kinds of feedback.

@0xwdg I was referring to the original commenter’s language and demeanour. Your response was fine

This looks like a fork or clone of https://www.codeedit.app/ exact same screenshots
Wesley De Groot
@rohid it's a "fork", we used to work on CodeEdit See also this for more information about that https://github.com/AuroraEditor/... I also work, and worked on CE, but we've decided to split because CE had other intentions then we had, and we could not really come together as development styles.
Rohid
@0xwdg I got your intention, but I still think working on the same goal on two different projects will slow down both. VS-Code's user base is huge although it is slow, ram hungry, and built with HTML, CSS, electron, *CHROMIUM*, etc. So, it's not the speed, it's the convenience. Anyway, All the best

The design is very nice. The project support LSP?

@laurieherault Hi, at this current moment not yet. As we continue to build AuroraEditor we will add support for LSP. It has been planned to add LSP as part of the editors main features. 🙂

Nice design, love the native aesthetic. I checked out the marketplace link on the homepage but didn't find a list of extensions. It looks like y'all are using VS Code extensions in the marketing screenshot. Is that right? Curious if there's a list somewhere?
Nanashi Li
@joshtoasts Hi, at the moment the extension architecture is still in development and we are still finalising approaches to how we would handle it without hitting performance issues. Regarding VS Code extension list in the screenshot it’s just a mockup of what to expect. We have this idea of trying to make some VS Code extensions work out of the box on AuroraEditor making it easier for developers to transfer their existing extensions like language support over to AE without a lot of effort and also give users a wide range of extensions by day one. Hope this answers your question?

Would this be a fork of Codeedit?
Wesley De Groot
@duc_k Yes, please see other comments or https://github.com/AuroraEditor/... for more information.

Looks very neat, and I was surprised at the 2MB download size. It has the potential to be the best editor 🚀 I will try to use it as much as possible, but when you want a productive session, you don't want to be doing hit-and-try for shortcuts. As VSCode has been mentioned in the product intro, VSCode's approach to capturing Sublime users with Key bindings got me entirely on board; something similar can be helpful to get dev onboard with KeyBinding support from other editors like VSCode, JetBrain's editors etc. Looking forward for awesome features.
Wesley De Groot
@patel_pankaj_ Thanks, my (personal) vision is to use as-less as possible external frameworks to keep the download size as low as possible, The cutom keybindings is a thing what we really want to make (in a later stage), our first priority is to get the editor (highlighting) working properly as we want.
Pankaj Patel
@0xwdg I understand the priorities; I am excited to see something that focuses on performance natively. Keep up the work, and I wish I could help, but being a JS dev, at least the website is an excellent place to help; I would be happy to contribute.
