What makes the editor unique
Written from scratch
No dependencies. Not written in Rust. Not a fork of VS Code (we're all sick of that malarkey).
Cross platform
Developed on Windows. Tested on a Mac. I've got no idea about Linux.
Easy setup
Select theme. Select keybindings. Toggle autosave. Now start coding.
Lightweight
About 1 MB gzipped download. Runs as a progressive web app (not an electron app). Fast loading. Auto updates. Doesn't eat up a ton of RAM like certain other editors.
Blazingly Fast
On a blazingly fast machine. Runs like crap on a really old laptop. To be honest, performance is about as good as VS Code.
Total Privacy
No login required. No telemetry. No cookies/trackers/notifications. I don't store any user data.
Over 50 languages supported
If your favorite language isn't supported, or if there are any syntax highlighting errors, let me know
Integrated AI
Choice of models from Anthropic, OpenAi, and Gemini. An API key is required, except for Gemini Nano which can be downloaded and used locally and offline.
No extensions
Genesis has everything you'd expect from a modern code editor built in. Except for a built in terminal, source control, debugger, local server, etc.
No annoying distractions
No obnoxious MDN hover boxes telling you what a div tag is. No overzealous warnings. No boring release notes on load.
Beginner friendly
Simple, minimalist interface. All settings and themes are configurable via menus, because ain't nobody got time to mess around with JSON files
Unique editing features
Innovative search and replace. Unlimited customization options with the custom stylesheet.
Solo developed
No daily standup interrogation. No Jira tickets. No sprint velocity. I built the editor that I wanted. If you like it then great, if not then no worries.
