>[!WARNING] Abandoned Project
> A modern editor with a backend written in Rust.
# Notability
Mentioned by the [[Lapce]] editor readme.
Origin of [[Rope Science]].
# Philosophy
> The xi-editor project is currently discontinued. Although we will happily accept bug fixes, no new features are currently planned. You may be interested in [the Lapce editor](https://github.com/lapce/lapce), which can be considered a spiritual successor to the xi-editor.
Primarily a backend, but work was progressing on various native Mac, terminal, GTK, QT, etc frontends.
It's not clear to me why the project was abandoned.
# OS Support

- [[Linux]]
- [[MacOS]]
- [[Windows]] (experimental)
- [[Android]] (wip?)
