I love these little side projects.

Something similar, but perhaps even more 'plain' – https://kvak.io

And the classic minimalist editor:

data:text/html,<pre contenteditable>

All my terminals applies a glowing outline... I patched Kitty [1] with a shader to apply it (Kitty already uses shaders for the terminal rendering). I should clean it up and put it up somewhere. I did it partly because I like the look, partly because it gives me much more flexibility in having partially translucent terminal windows without making the text unreadable.

First time I am hearing of kitty. As a heavy tmux user who has had to yak shave a few times due to 256 color support issues, I'm going to check this out!

If you use gpakosz tmux config you may find the following set up useful. https://github.com/lukesmurray/bootstrap/tree/master/.config... I replicated most of the key bindings so you can use splits without tmux. Still no support for multiple sessions or persistence but that’s on kittys roadmap

Note that the window frame has a glow but the glyphs do not.

From the looks of his Github profile, he builds projects for fun. Good for practicing skills.

One of them is colors.lol. I saw the excellent word "confiscable".

It's nice to have a textarea widget around for browser native spell checking for example. A dark color scheme is a bonus :)

I just have this as a bookmarklet though:

    data:text/html, <html contenteditable><script>document.querySelector('html').focus()</script></html>

My current text editor is not even neon.

Why not?

Because there is no text editor on mobile phones (you have to install one by yourself). So it might be helpful from time to time
