Hi. This is a project I’ve been working on for a while.
I posted an earlier version of it on this channel, but have since closed-source it due to personal reasons.

It’s a modal editor / code editor / note-taking app / mind map tool.
You can see its current functionalities here: https://youtu.be/IIJP-Y-p3vw

I’m sorry if this is inappropriate to ask in the channel, but I’m currently looking for funding (~$100/month) to continue working on it.
If that’s not possible, I’ll likely take on delivery work to cover living expenses. I underestimated how long it would take to ship something this complex, but I’m still excited to bring it to life.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy the video—feedback and ideas are always welcome!

Modal Canvas-based Mind Map X Code Editor in development - Looking ...

Hi. This is a project I've been working on for a while.
It's basically Vim on a Canvas.
It's written from scratch using Zig. It's not a fork of any existing project.
I'm looking for funding to continue working on it.

I feel for you. Starting a open source project is a huge undertaking for something non-trivial like this.

You seem to have really come far!

The app looks good. Are you sure you can't open source it? I would think it's especially difficult to get community sponsorship for a closed source project.

It was rough for my mental health to open source it and see virtually no interest / interactions from people.

#

Maybe I closed source it out of shame. I'm not sure anymore.

#

Sorry to anyone who starred the repo earlier.

Wow, that looks really good! A typical editor is no small undertaking and the free-form canvas can’t have made this any easier. Awesome work here 👏⚡️

Thank you 🙏

This is really cool

also seems really good for making flowcharts / other diagrams, which would be very nice to have next to very stateful code. (like a diagram of your regex, etc)

#

exporting some portion to mermaid to quickly share such a construct would then be a neat addition

Great ideas

I'll take a look into draw.io
Never used it before

currently I use it to create sequence diagrams for process planning and object stuff for dev planning @ fraunhofer ipt.

Ah, I took a look at draw.io.
The project should be able to serve your use case in the future.

Good luck for your project ! It’s easy to start by hard to stay motivated 🙁

This looks very nice man, I'm living once again the hopes I had when I saw the (now dead) project called DION Systems by Ryan Fleury. I wonder if that inspired you. Since then I mastered vim to organize windows in a visually intuitive way for me, cause I navigate much better when the navigation is actually spacial. Each of my vim tabs has the file I opened exactly where I opened it. It's a cool way to work, but it was a lot of vim tweaking to get it somewhat usable. I will surely check out your solution, it seems to do the things I want
