This is a beautiful piece of work. Any chance you might be able to explain the background architecture that might allow others to replicate some of this?

From what I see: - extensions are coded in Python, and there is good documentation on the plugin mechanism. - Each platform seems to use the platform's native window system. There is no use of a common UI like Qt. - The first version is GPU accelerated but the newer one is entirely software.

Seriously impressive work considering it is a single developer. I like how there animations are subtle, and how the entire UI is incredibly responsive. To me, this does to text editors what Chrome did to web browsers.
