Xi is an [[Apache v2]] licensed text editor backend written in [[Rust]]. - [Website](https://xi-editor.io/) - [Source](https://github.com/xi-editor/xi-editor) - Documentation - AlternativeTo >[!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 There's no info about what operating systems it supports, but there are frontends for: - [[Linux]] - [[MacOS]] - [[Windows]] (experimental) - [[Android]] (wip?) # Features # Tips # References
