I used Sublime Text for years, but the occasional upgrade popup eventually pushed me to try building my own editor a few months ago. I figured it would be simple — it wasn’t.
The result is Void Text: a fast, lightweight, general-purpose editor with a small footprint, clean UI/UX, and only the essentials. It’s completely free, and built entirely in Swift to keep it native and snappy.
I’m not sure it matches Sublime in performance yet, but it’s good enough to be my daily driver.
I’d love to hear your feedback, especially on [whatever]!
