I've really been enjoying using @GeanyIDE but I found it quite annoying that Markdown files didn't offer a pretty-print preview in the IDE. I'm not sure if anyone needs to hear this besides me, but on Debian one needs to separately install the package `geany-plugins` in order to get the Markdown plugin, then activate it in the plugins menu.

The #Geany developers are looking for a new maintainer for the Windows builds of Geany.

The Windows builds of Geany were created previously on a Windows 7 VM which is not supported any longer.
We are looking for a new maintainer who likes to take care of the Windows builds, knows MSYS2 and has access to a Windows system with a recent version to be able to build and test Geany on Windows.

For more details and comments, see github.com/geany/geany/issues/.

I just noticed that my favorite #IDE @GeanyIDE was released in Version v2.0.0 four days (EDIT: and a year, LOL 🤣 ) ago ! 🥳

Now I am curious whats all new. The last version was v1.3.6 from September 2019 (!) and the project exists since 2005. So it looks like a big deal 🤩

Edit: I am late to the party, Release is from 2023 :D But still - yay!

As soon as a non-Electron based IDE ports this marketplace.visualstudio.com/i I would most likely move over there. Kate? Geany? Notepad Next? Anyone?..

They don’t seem to care about us “text pretty!” people. So for now, VS Code/Codium is just so much better. And feels snappier on Linux, mayhaps?
