@vtrlx@mastodon.social Remember seeing https://blogs.gnome.org/chergert/2026/02/06/mid-life-transitions/, could it be spiritual successor to GNOME Text Editor?

@tris@chaos.social I don't know if the two apps are too comparable; Other than the surface level of being plain text editors, both apps have very different goals. G•T•E is concerned with compatibility and fitting in with how users would expect a text editor to lay out text, whereas Parchment is utterly unconcerned because my goal was primarily to enable too plain text editing using proportional type. The consequences of that difference are significant.
