About WriterSharp
Time until v0.0.1-alpha:
Created by MF366...
WriterSharp was created entirely by Matthew (MF366), built from the ground up using C# and Avalonia. The vision behind the project was simple: create a fast, extensible editor that respects users and provides them with the tools they actually need. Every line of code reflects that philosophy.
Learn More...for everyone.
WriterSharp is free and open-source, meaning anyone can use it without restrictions and anyone can contribute to its development. Whether you're a beginner just learning to code or a professional developer, WriterSharp is designed to grow with you, adapting to your workflow through plugins and community-driven features.
Learn MoreSupporting open-source is noble!
WriterSharp is a labor of love, developed in spare time with no corporate funding. If you'd like to support its growth, you can contribute through Buy Me A Coffee. Your support helps keep the project alive and ensures future updates. Contributors get access to exclusive perks like premium devlogs, sneak peeks of new features, and behind-the-scenes progress updates.
Learn MoreExtensibility is key...
WriterSharp has a powerful plugin API that enables developers to extend the editor far beyond its core. Whether you want to add a language pack, integrate external tools, or design entirely new workflows, WriterSharp gives you the flexibility to make it happen. The API was designed to be straightforward yet capable of supporting complex use cases.
...and so is innovation.
WriterSharp reimagines what a code editor can do. Unlike most editors, it ships with a built-in “Designer” system that plugins can tap into. This shared space can be used for anything from Markdown previews to real-time UI building - even image editing. By reusing a common Designer panel, plugin creators can innovate freely without reinventing the wheel, leading to a more unified and powerful experience.
Powered by AnaSense
WriterSharp integrates with AnaSense, an upcoming open-source technology designed to analyze buffers and improve performance-critical tasks. AnaSense ensures fast, efficient handling of large projects and gives developers deeper insights into their work without compromising privacy or security.
Debugging made simple
WriterSharp features a built-in debugger that helps developers track down issues quickly. It supports static line breakpoints, dynamic exception-based triggers, variable inspection, and expression evaluation. While lightweight, it's designed to be practical and reliable, making debugging feel like a natural part of your workflow.
