'On December 15 GitHub declared end-of-life for its "hackable text
editor" Atom. But Long-time Slashdot reader BrendaEM wants to remind
everyone that after the announcement of Atom's sunset, "the community
came together to keep Atom alive."
First there was the longstanding fork Atom-Community. But "due to
differences in long-term goals for the editor, a new version was born:
Pulsar."
>From the Pulsar web site:
Pulsar [sometimes referred to as Pulsar-Edit] 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.
"Of course, the user interface is much of the same," writes the blog
Its FOSS, and it's cross-platform (supporting Linux, macOS, and
Windows).
"The essentials seem to be there with the documentation, packages, and
features like the ability to install packages from Git
repositories..."'
