A modern editor with a backend written in Rust.

The xi editor project is an attempt to build a high quality text editor, using modern software engineering techniques. It is initially built for Mac OS X, using Cocoa for the user interface. There are also frontends for other operating systems available from third-party developers.

Goals include:

1. Incredibly high performance. All editing operations should commit and paint in under 16ms. The editor should never make you wait for anything.

2. Beauty. The editor should fit well on a modern desktop, and not look like a throwback from the ’80s or ’90s. Text drawing should be done with the best technology available (Core Text on Mac, DirectWrite on Windows, etc.), and support Unicode fully.

3. Reliability. Crashing, hanging, or losing work should never happen.

4. Developer friendliness. It should be easy to customize xi editor, whether by adding plug-ins or hacking on the core.

Official site of MyNotex, free note-taking, document file and activity manager for GNU/Linux.

Notes are gathered under different subjects and are made by a title, a date, a tags (keywords) list and a free-length text. This may be formatted: it is possible to change the font name, size and color of a selected text and of its background, and also to set bold, italic, underline and strike-through; the text may have pictures within it. The software can manage paragraph alignment, bullets, numbered and alphabetic lists with automatic indentation. Each note may have any number of attachments (files of every kind), and has also a spreadsheet-like grid to manage a list of activities which is quite similar to the one used in many software of project management. The various activities of one or all the notes of a file may be shown in a diary view and possibly exported in iCal format. A single file of MyNotex contains various notes filed in different subjects.
