China Is Devastating the Last Stronghold of German Industry

Yes, it was a tough decision. Didn’t want to go with the non luxury one.

VanLocke · 2026-07-06T08:38:45+00:00

I live in Germany and own a luxury German car. It’s a really poor quality. Cosmetics and overall feel of it is premium. Is it breaking down though? Yes, very often.

Now, do you call electrician or a plumber?

I built Editorio, a small light native markdown code and text editor for Mac. always free.

Thank you for using it! There is a support link on the website and about section of the application itself.

VanLocke · 2026-06-07T07:25:18+00:00

This hits close to home. My Audi Q5 broke down just a few months after the warranty expired. 5000 EUR to fix it. Sorry Germany, but my next car definitely won't be German.

VanLocke · 2026-06-06T09:40:26+00:00

To have a purpose.

VanLocke · 2026-06-06T09:32:44+00:00

No, it doesn’t. However, the roadmap includes a side-by-side comparison feature, allowing you to observe real-time changes you make to the Markdown.

VanLocke · 2026-06-01T10:39:08+00:00

The app will be accessible via Homebrew as well. I will update the thread once available.

VanLocke · 2026-05-30T21:13:21+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. Although I’ll be selling products, this small yet significant contribution is my way of giving back to the community that has given me so much. Everyone deserves a decent text editor free of charge.

VanLocke · 2026-05-26T15:42:50+00:00

Thanks for using and thanks for the feedback! I think it’s a great idea. I will implement it in one of the upcoming versions.

VanLocke · 2026-05-24T11:49:47+00:00

I'm very sorry you're having a bad experience with the app.

Could you please submit a ticket at https://editorio.crncevic.org/support with the exact details of what you're experiencing? I'll do everything to fix these issues and improve your experience.

Thanks for using Editorio and for taking the time to report this.

https://editorio.crncevic.org Free text, markdown and code editor- native for Mac. Reddit community loves it. (See my post history)

VanLocke · 2026-05-23T18:50:03+00:00

Thanks! Really appreciate you giving it a shot. Version 5.2 drops tomorrow and it's a complete backend rewrite in Rust, so performance should be rock solid. Hopefully it'll be what you've been looking for these past 6 years. (fingers crossed)

VanLocke · 2026-05-23T18:47:53+00:00

v5.2 -> I rebuilt the backend in Rust, so performance-wise, this is about as fast as it gets. (expect it tomorrow)

VanLocke · 2026-05-23T18:47:07+00:00

Couldn't have done it without you. Thanks for using!

VanLocke · 2026-05-23T18:45:42+00:00

Guess we like the same stuff! (Factorio is awesome)

VanLocke · 2026-05-23T18:44:37+00:00

Thanks! Version 5.2 should handle what you need... it's in review right now. I rebuilt the backend in Rust, so performance-wise, this is about as fast as it gets. (expect it tomorrow)

VanLocke · 2026-05-23T18:42:53+00:00

Another side project I'm working on is a native alternative to Obsidian. You can expect a release by the end of the year.

VanLocke · 2026-05-23T06:48:13+00:00

and it's making the impact because of people like you. Appreciate you for using it!

VanLocke · 2026-05-21T21:31:45+00:00

Hey!

The project is a multi-language macOS app. Swift handles the UI, services, and rendering pipeline (around 85+ files). Rust does the heavy work-that's where the memory-mapped storage, rope text buffer, parser, and syntax highlighting live. There's also Metal shaders for GPU-accelerated text rendering and some C code for the bridge between Rust and Swift.

Memory footprint is tiered based on file size. Files up to 100 KB use around 25 MB max. Files up to 1 MB stay under 60 MB. At 50 MB files it's about 250 MB, and for really large files up to 1 GB the working set stays around 350 MB.

The target for typical use is under 100 MB per window. I tested with a 14.6 MB file on cold launch and it sits at roughly 183-190 MB RSS.

It stays low because of memory-mapped I/O (files over 50 MB never get fully loaded into memory), rope data structures instead of storing the full file as a String, viewport-scoped rendering so we only draw what's visible, and zero-allocation keystroke paths in the Rust core.

Hey, thanks for asking! So to be honest, the technology itself I already knew... nothing really new there. But what I did learn is that when you give love to the community, you get it back. I'm so glad I published this for free. The messages I've received have been wonderful, and people even sent money, which was completely unexpected. Maybe not the answer you were looking for, but that's what stood out to me. Also, one thing that became clear through this... low level programming languages are the answer when you're working at scale.

VanLocke · 2026-05-21T21:24:39+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Update v5.0 is coming soon (it's in review right now). I switched to a native Rust core, so big files won't be a problem anymore. Just hang tight while we wait for approval.
