Why not collaborate with developers of existing code editors such as Xi Editor (https://xi-editor.io) or Lapce (https://lapce.dev) instead of making yet another one?

As for lightweight alternatives to Atom, there is also Lite-XL (https://lite-xl.com).

Speaking as someone involved in the Xi community, there's not that much to collaborate with. Work on Xi has completely stopped, and work on the Druid GUI framework is still in early stages.

I think it could be interesting to compare notes re GUI frameworks (especially since the Druid community is about to see some overhauls there) but I don't think it would have saved them that much work if they'd done that from the start.
