alt Hacker NewsOh interesting, I went to look more after you said that and noticed the lack of activity indeed, there's even a discussion about it: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/discussions/16261
That said, fwiw, I haven't felt the need for anything on it and it feels "complete" to me as far as my daily use goes
Maintaining OSS is tough, do you know what the community has been wanting lately that it lacks? Maybe I'm an outlier user or I don't know what I don't know
I don’t use Helix myself, but I’ve tried it before.
I believe I’ve heard many users requesting a plug-in system (there were some plans for Scheme?), and that the devs themselves considered many features as more appropriate for plugins than first-party support (code folding and non-LSP snippets, if I recall correctly?). I don’t know how Helix developed the last couple of years, but if features like that didn’t materialize yet, that sounds like sufficient impetus for a fork to me.
