Naive

A simple, configurable text editor

Naive is a simple, configurable text editor written in Electron. It strives to be intuitive yet easily extensible.

Features

Naive currently supports syntax highlighting, line-based editing, and opening and saving projects. In the near future, Naive will also support syntax highlighting in more languages, autocomplete, addons, keyboard shortcuts, and more. A Vim emulation mode will also be added.
