      Some random one that appeared out of nowhere for mac only, seems the be from some company and because of that people are hyping the shit out of it.

      Many places that never mentioned the other more known and editors like helix now suddenly are mentioning this one. It smells as a huge ad/marketing campaign. Not sure what the plans are for monetisation and the business plan.

        It’s a lot more than a random text editor.

        It’s a text editor from (at least some of) the people that made Atom at GitHub (with the explicit premise of learning from Atom/building a faster, better, Atom).

        The business plan is to sell collaboration features (e.g., remote pair programming).
