Show HN: A TUI text editor built by FTXUI

It’s a modern FTXUI-based terminal editor—like Nano and Sublime’s baby. No weird modal editing, no 100+ shortcuts to memorize, just useful features with a non-eye-glazing UI.

Here’s why it’s my daily coding/note-taking editor:

•Zero learning curve. Ctrl+S/Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+F—all standard shortcuts you know. No more 2 AM “how to exit Vim” searches.

•Looks great. 28 themes (Monokai, Dracula, Nord, etc.), toggleable line numbers, current line highlighting, and a clean 3-column layout.

•Surprisingly powerful. Multi-tab support, regex search/replace (live previews!), syntax highlighting for major languages (C++, Python, JS, etc.), and LSP for code completion/error checks.

•Super lightweight. Terminal-based, fires up instantly—no VS Code bloat. Runs smooth even on old laptops.

I know we all have go-to editors (shoutout Neovim fans), but if you’re tired of “too simple” vs “too complex,” try pnana. Early (v0.0.4), but more polished than most terminal editors.

Building is simple—clone, run the build script, done. No messy dependencies (clear docs if you hit snags).

Bonus: Split editing and Lua plugins are coming. I’ve used it nonstop for a week—no plans to go back.
