You got further than I did. Visiting the site with Safari 16.6 results in "406 Your browser is not supported. Please upgrade your browser to continue."
Not what I'd expect from an informative page about a lightweight editor.

Why are there so many people making code editors?
It seems like we've hit a veritable Cambrian explosion of editors and I don't understand what market signals are being picked up where people find the editors insufficient.

Software is changing, everything is up for grabs. Lots of people are making Notion clones, slack clones, browsers, IDEs.

As an anecdote - I really want to see consolidation here. All my chat services under one parent application. WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, Messenger.
I really don't care about the vendor for chat services, just exhausted of installing multiple clients and many of the clients being pretty garbage.
I would also like to say the same for many services. Online banking is top of mind for me right now as I have several bank accounts chasing competitive savings rates.

With all due honesty, this is not lightweight at all compared to other editors.
