The web is not without its faults, but two decades of development has forged it into an incredibly malleable and powerful platform. Pop the hood, however, and you'll discover a system begging to be hacked on.
On the surface, Pulsar is the modern desktop text editor you've come to expect. Our goal is a zero-compromise combination of hackability and usability: an editor that will be welcoming to an elementary school student on their first day learning to code, but also a tool they won't outgrow as they develop into seasoned hackers.Īs we've used Pulsar to build Pulsar, what began as an experiment has gradually matured into a tool we can't live without. On the other end of the spectrum, Emacs and Vim offer extreme flexibility, but they aren't very approachable and can only be customized with special-purpose scripting languages. There are a lot of text editors out there why should you spend your time learning about and using Pulsar? Editors like Sublime and TextMate offer convenience but only limited extensibility. This section is all about how to start using Pulsar, such as how to install it and how to use it for basic text editing.
