Koditlin: First working version

20 Dec 2018 – projects

Today I wrote the first working version of Koditlin, a simple text editor. It currently has only basic functionality: create a new file, open a file, and save the current file.

I made it in IntelliJ IDEA with the latest Kotlin and TornadoFX. I used this TornadoFX guide.

The project is in this GitHub repository.

As I improve my learning of Kotlin, I’ll gradually add the following features:

• Checking if the current file has been saved before creating a new file or opening another one.
• Save As.
• Find and replace.
• Tabs for multiple files.
• Syntax highlighting (at least for Markdown).
