## Overview
**Text Forge** is a lightweight, modular code editor designed for flexibility and control. Its mode-driven design, customizable interface, and support for GDScript scripting make it easy to create a personalized editing environment.
This editor is deeply language-agnostic and suitable for any text format, and its data-driven and object-oriented architecture with plug-and-play modules lets you extend functionality without touching the core.
> [!Note]
> This project currently is in development state, **feel free to contribute in any way you like**.
> [!Important]
> Text Forge is receiving frequent updates that _may_ break compatibility with previous versions. Until **1.0-alpha1**, it's recommended to delete the app’s data folder before updating.
> Please read release notes for breaking changes of each version before update.
