Dit 0.9

[waldyrious]

Nice, a dit update! :tada:

Out of curiosity, what happened to dit 0.8? :thinking:

@waldyrious I messed up and ended up packaging 0.8 locally out of an unsynchronized branch. When a NixOS packager pointed out that the repos were inconsistent (the website still pointed to 0.6!) I decided to just take my latest local master, tag it as 0.9 and push it everywhere to resynchronize everything.

Honestly, I was surprised when he reached out because I just assumed that nobody else used Dit! :laughing: It's a little pet project (which I do use as my daily driver text editor!) but I don't really expect it to compete with any of the other text editors out there, I'm just happy to keep it working for as long as it works for me. :grin:

I confess I kind of stopped using dit several years ago when I bumped into some keyboard shortcut / terminal issues, and micro has been working well enough for me since I found it. Bit I've always had a soft spot for dit and would certainly recommend it to other people if it was installable more broadly.

And by the way, note that there are 12 watchers in the dit repo at the time of writing — if the activity there was done via issues, PRs (or at least if the tags were also published as releases), I'm sure I and others would be happy to follow along, and perhaps that would nudge people to contribute occasionally. I was actually surprised to discover that there had been recent activity in the repository, because I have chosen to watch all activity in it, but direct commits don't trigger notifications...
