Xray is an experimental next-generation text editor built on Electron and Rust, designed around real-time collaboration and strict performance targets. It was a GitHub experiment exploring radical ideas beyond the Atom editor, including a keystroke-level version control system called Memo.
Use cases
- collaborative real-time code editing
- high-performance text editor with low-latency typing
- experimenting with keystroke-level version control
- building a cross-platform editor on Electron and Rust
- studying editor architecture for collaboration and performance
When to choose
- you want to study experimental editor architecture or collaboration design
- you need reference code for keystroke-level version control (Memo)
- you are researching Electron/Rust hybrid application design
When to avoid
- you need a maintained, production-ready text editor
- you expect bug fixes, releases, or community support
- you want a daily-driver editor today - use Atom, VS Code, or Zed instead
