About
Lunar is a web-technology-based text editor built with the Tauri framework, utilizing Vue.js, TypeScript, Sass, and the TipTap editor. Any and all functionality is achieved via plain TypeScript; this includes not only the UI interaction and editing, but also the file operations, as well as the command palette.
Lunar's logo and the icons used in Lunar were all made by me. You're free to use said icons for any other project of yours, even if it isn't related to Lunar. However, you're only allowed to use ones that are not in the no-use folder of Lunar's source files.
Lunar uses seven fonts which are all from Google Fonts. Lunar's logo does not use a traditional font; I made it using basic vector shapes. If it does resemble a font, that is completely unintentional.
Lunar's code (excluding the icons and fonts) is licenced under the GNU General Public License v3. Essentially, this means that you're free to modify and distribute Lunar as long as you release that modification under the same licence.
Command palette
Lunar boasts a simple yet powerful command palette, not only being able to perform simple operations but also features minimal CLI-like-functionality. For instance, you can navigate by writing /cd <directory>. For a full breakdown of what types of commands Lunar's command palette can perform, see here.
Download
Currently, Lunar is available on Windows, with Linux versions planned in the very-near future. You can either download your desired distribution of Lunar here, or through the Releases section on the Codeberg repository.
Note: The app itself is as of yet not signed, so the operating systems may yell at you that it's not safe
.
Updates
As of right now, Lunar does not offer automatic updates. That means that you'll have to manually check either this page or the Codeberg repository.
