Rim – Aspiring Vim-like text editor written in Rust

In plain words

Rim is a text editor written in Rust that aims to replicate Vim's functionality and modal editing approach. Designed for developers who prefer Vim-like workflows, it is available as an open-source project on GitHub where users can contribute to its development. The editor is still under active development as an aspiring alternative to established Vim implementations.

  Graphite, a Blender-inspired 2D procedural design Rust app2024 · graphite.rs · ▲785

  For the past three years I've been building what I hope will be the next Blender, tackling the lack of any good 2D design or image editing tools outside the Adobe monopoly. This was our first year participating in Google Summer of Code and this Q3 update includes the big payoff from that, covering the most progress we've made so far as a project. If you're a Rust dev, consider getting involved as we apply for the next GSoC in the new year— you could be our intern next summer :) Q3 progress report: https://graphite.rs/blog/graphite-progress-report-q3-2024/

  Talanoa▲345

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
