Possible collaboration?

[mattmassicotte]

I just stumbled onto this project today, and I'm super pumped to see it! I'm always excited about new development tools for macOS, particular editors!

I work on a macOS editor called Chime. While it is a commercial product, we have a very heavy emphasis on open sourcing the app's internals. We are big believers in small, focused libraries. I've worked with a few other editor projects via these libraries, and I was hoping we might be able to do the same.

Our biggest focuses are LSP, tree-sitter, text/NSTextView-specific stuff, as well as more general-purpose AppKit stuff. All available on our GitHub account, or at Swift Package Index. We've also got a higher-level project brewing built on top of the lower-level tree-sitter lib for performant highlighting and indenting. This one isn't completely pulled out of the main app yet, but its really useful for many editor-like projects, so it something we want to prioritize more.

I'm not sure what your plans are in these areas, but I'd love to see how we could work together more.

Hi @mattmassicotte. Welcome! Glad you found the project.

It definitely seems like there might be some ways to collaborate! For one, we will need to implement LSP. Everyone is free to contribute and get involved.

I'm sure others will chime in soon. In the meantime, please join us on Discord.

Possibly very interesting for Issue #36
