Pulsar

A community-led hyper-hackable text editor

About Pulsar

Pulsar is a free, open-source text editor created by the community that maintained Atom after its sunset, keeping its package ecosystem alive. It keeps Atom's hackability with updated internals, cross-platform builds and a growing set of community-maintained packages. Overall, it is built for people who want that kind of job done reliably, without unnecessary complexity, steep learning curves or heavyweight software getting in the way of everyday work.
