limetext/lime

Lime is an open source text editor built as an API-compatible alternative to Sublime Text. The project was started by someone who loved Sublime Text but grew concerned about its closed-source nature and slow development pace, wanting a replacement that could run the same plugins and extensions without locking users into a proprietary product. The project is organized as a meta repository, with separate components for the backend logic and three different frontends: one built with QML for a native desktop feel, one for terminal use via termbox, and one HTML-based option. The API compatibility goal means that existing Sublime Text plugins should work with Lime without requiring developers to rewrite or duplicate their work for a different interface. At the time of this writing, the frontends are not ready to replace a daily-use editor, though the backend is described as progressing. The project welcomes contributions, anyone can claim an open issue and submit a pull request. If you want to help build Lime, the wiki contains pages on goals, building instructions, and contributing guidelines. The project is released under the 2-clause BSD license.
