🧭 What’s the Philosophy Behind Text Forge — and How Should It Evolve?

[mkh-user]

Text Forge was never intended to be just another text editor. From the beginning, it’s been driven by ideas like modularity, simplicity, and user empowerment.
But what do those values actually mean in real-world development?

Here’s what shaped its direction:

• An editor should adapt to the user — not the other way around
• Every feature should exist for a reason, not just for bulk
• Pick anything you want, but Just when you want
• Design should remain open, transparent, and language-agnostic

Now I’d love to hear your thoughts:

• What philosophies or principles matter most to you when building or using development tools?
• What defines a meaningful or enjoyable editing experience for you?
• How do you think Text Forge should evolve as a tool and as a mindset? What's most important philosophies in its development road?

Whether you’re a developer, a power user, or just curious about software design, jump in — your perspective helps shape what this project becomes.
