Hackable. Fast. Yours.
A modernised fork of Atom, the hackable text editor, resurrected and rebuilt on a current version of Electron.
1.7.0 unsigned preview: Linux x64 packages are attached to that GitHub Release.
| Platform | File |
|---|---|
| Linux x64 | chevron-1.7.0-x64.AppImage |
All releases: github.com/builtbygio/chevron/releases. Details: docs/reference/releases.md. What is planned: ROADMAP.md.
Built using a branch → PR → merge workflow, even solo.
Host toolchain: Node 24 + Python 3.12 (+ setuptools), and pnpm at the version pinned in package.json packageManager. Always use ./script/bootstrap-modern (not stock ./script/bootstrap).
