I Built My Own Text Editor

说明与用途

cdin 是一个轻量、快速、可定制的文本编辑器，基于 lite 的分支，C 负责渲染，Lua 负责行为，适合低配置电脑。

问题

Create a lightweight, keyboard‑centric text editor that performs well on a weak machine and is highly customizable.

结果

cdin is a small, fast, and hackable editor that feels personal and performs well on low‑spec hardware.

工作流

• Forked the lite editor from GitHub
• Renamed the fork to cdin
• Removed unnecessary features
• Replaced SDL2 with SDL3
• Rewired project structure
• Split code into C (window, renderer, SDL bindings) and Lua (behavior, plugins, keybindings, config)
• Built and tested on a weak machine
