A fork of lines.love that experiments with a simple implementation of hyperlinks to local files. If any word surrounded by whitespace (that doesn't wrap around multiple lines) is also the name of a file relative to the current directory, it renders in blue with an underline and can be clicked on to switch to the corresponding file.
Designed above all to be easy to modify and give you early warning if your modifications break something.
Install LÖVE. It's just a 5MB download, open-source and extremely well-behaved.
To run from the terminal, pass this directory to LÖVE, optionally with a file path to edit.
Alternatively, turn it into a .love file you can double-click on:
$ zip -r /tmp/text.love *.lua
By default, it reads/writes the file lines.txt
in
a directory relative to this app.
To open a different file, drop it on the app window.

No scrollbars yet. That stuff is hard.
This repo is a fork of lines.love, an editor for plain text where you can also seamlessly insert line drawings. Its immediate upstream is text.love, a version without support for line drawings. Updates to it can be downloaded from:
Further forks are encouraged. If you show me your fork, I'll link to it here.
Most appreciated. Messages, PRs, patches, forks, it's all good.
