I'm surprised you chose to default to using a proportional font if code editing is an intended use case. I have a feeling I'm not going to be the only one who asks. Do you have a FAQ or something where you explain your design choices?

@VATVSLPR@c.im FAQ is something I've considered, yes. I'll probably do so sooner than later, but to summarize the many reasons to prefer proportional over monospace for code: I believe monospace is a distraction. FWIW, when I use Parchment (for most of my programming and all of my writing), I use the system default sans-serif font. That is how I expect most users to use it as well.
