Jazz

A fast Code Editor for the web, similar to CodeMirror, Ace, Monaco.

Goal is to be as close to Sublime Text as possible in terms of features and performance. Most major work is done, like the text buffer which outperforms anything else, can handle big files and edits with very high performance. I'd like to improve speed further, specifically view optimizations, add more syntax highlighters, reduce technical debt, extract libraries onto their own repositories with more tests, add integration tests (only unit atm), inline documentation and more. There is a small guide to get started development.

Looking for someone passionate with frontend JavaScript development that knows their way around browser bottlenecks so we can work together and move this forward.

Project looks pretty interesting.

You may want to consider converting your "Issues" file into actual GitHub issues and creating a board to track them. That way people can comment on issues and things like that whereas tracking an "Issues" file is a bit more difficult.

Also you could use Markdown or AsciiDoc for the README. It doesn't look pretty right now.

Being a lone wolf on this, I wanted to keep everything as tight and close by as possible to reduce friction and work faster, but you are absolutely right, it definitely needs polishing up and proper issue tracking. Part of the reason why I posted now is that I'm willing to prioritize this and make the effort if I see people interested in collaborating.

Nice project. Your code could use some comments though if you are looking for contributors. Could make onboarding and collaboration little bit easier.
