## Motivation

Most editors in use today rely on Electron or other cross-platform frameworks, limiting their ability to fully utilize system resources. While Xcode provides a native experience, it is specifically designed for projects targeting Apple platforms. 

We think developers working on projects not written for Apple platforms deserve that same macOS-native experience we get with Xcode while unlocking the full potential of the Mac. 

This raised the question "what if such an editor existed?", a question that led to the creation of [this concept](https://www.figma.com/proto/qj6raZbQsZpGO0NAVi4qsv/CodeEdit-Concept?node-id=1%3A870), which our project aims to make a reality.

## Mission

It is our commitment to keep CodeEdit open source and free forever, supported by the community.



Our goal is to maintain a lightweight experience, similar to TextEdit, while being able to scale up to a more feature-rich experience, comparable to Xcode, as necessary.

We strive to remain true to Apple's human interface guidelines and development patterns, ensuring CodeEdit looks and feels like an application developed by Apple themselves, which includes a meticulous attention to detail.
