Cool. Some feedback from a few minutes of use:<p>- When I started typing a string, Chime added a double quote for me to terminate the string. Fine, but if I use my years of muscle memory to terminate the string myself, it should replace the inserted quote instead of letting me double them up: fmt.Printf("Hello"") this does work correctly if you used autocomplete to generate a " format " hint from fmt.Printf.<p>- After typing fmt.Pr<escape> it showed me a number of options including fmt.Printf. When I selected that option, it presented me with fmt.Printf( format , a ) which I could fill in, fine. But I had to deliberately move the cursor into the " a " part to replace the " a " with my argument. If I didn't and just moved right after the comma, it would do e.g.: fmt.Printf("%d", 42a) Also, the fmt.Printf would be highlighted green instead of light blue like the others. Furthermore, if I then tried to do fmt.Pr<escape> on the next line, it wouldn't offer anything semantically related, just the local variables like x and y.
Let me first of all thank you for even attempting this. An editor that comes out of the box for golang would be greatly appreciated by a lot of people, myself included.<p>First thing I notice opening chime is that I don't know what I can do with it. -
Other than opening a folder, getting code suggestions with ctrl+space, and getting additional context hovering with alt, I couldn't find anything I could do. - An FAQ or feature list of what Chime is able and not able to do would go a long way.<p>Additionally a roadmap on the next plans for it, or even better an option for people who got a license to vote for features would be also nice.<p>---<p>As of now it seems like a solid start, but without simple things like a keypress to fuzzy match and open a file, show code errors, a way to run tests or code and see the output, it doesn't seem to be usable for day to day work.<p>---<p>That been said, the current price is low enough that I'll be getting one simply to show support for the project and come back to it every now and then to see how it evolves.<p>Good luck :)
At last, I'm very pleased to see a native editor for a modern language like Golang, unlike the unpleasant experience I've had with VSCode and Goland which perform very poorly on my Macbook with other Electron and Java based software running.<p>I'm also switching back and forth with CodeRunner which runs great but has poor support for Golang debugging. If Chime adds support for a better build, run and debugging experience, it could be my 'goto' editor for Golang. I wonder if Rust could have the same treatment for a dedicated editor, perhaps.<p>I paid for CodeRunner for the same quality and features and if building, running and debugging features works on Chime, that would be a direct purchase from me. Thanks for your work on Chime!
Congrats on 1.0! Feedback:<p>- Most needed feature: project-level fuzzy file opener. Hotkeys open a textbox that let me type letters in, which brings up files which match (ideally applying a Must-Recently-Used algo). (See Ctrl+P for VIM) ((Bonus: The fuzzy finder considers non-project imported files as well.))<p>- Debugger integration. (My preference is Delve.)<p>- Syntax error highlighting.<p>- Consider using <a href="https://github.com/fatih/vim-go/" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/fatih/vim-go/</a> as a list of nice features to add to your short(long)-list of ideas.<p>LMK, if I can elaborate on anything. I'll be watching. Thanks for your hard work!
Congrats on reaching this milestone, and thank you for working on this! As a user of Go and macOS, I'm glad it's being developed.<p>I've installed it, and will give it a shot. I may need to wait for a few more features before I can use it (e.g., ability to open many Go files from a project and switch between them), but what's there so far looks nice. Two-finger scrolling with bounce at the ends is very pleasant, better than Sublime Text.<p>Best of luck post-1.0.0!<p>Edit: I just realized I can open an entire directory, which gives me a sidebar and solves the problem of being unable to switch between files.
One thing this entire website is missing is screenshots. I have to literally download the press kit to find them. I shouldn't even have to do that. They should be on the front-page or the downloads page, or both. Sublime Text does this, VS Code does it, Atom does it. It's just good to know what an editor looks like long before anything else.<p>Screenshots tell you a lot about an editor.
I'm super interested to see if such a niche tool can attract a big enough audience.<p>Is Chime only going to be for macOS, or are there plans to also bring it to other platforms like iPad, Windows, etc, too?
I’m no a Go developer but was super excited to see someone taking this kind of approach to editors last time it was posted here. Downloaded and tried out the build, great stuff!
So, no confusion here?<p>See <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/chime/" rel="nofollow">https://aws.amazon.com/chime/</a>
Disappointing this is only for macOS. For the time being I'm stuck with Goland from Jetbrains or VSCode. I applaud the effort though. The ecosystem could use far more options.
