About:
Chime is a native macOS code editor designed for performance and deep platform integration. It aims to provide a fast, responsive, and stable editing experience for developers working on Apple platforms. The alpha version offers early access to new features and improvements currently under development.

Key Features:

Native macOS performance and UI integration
Fast and responsive text editing engine
Modern Swift-based architecture
Early access to upcoming features in the alpha channel

Use Cases:

Developing Swift and Objective-C applications on macOS
General-purpose code and text editing with a focus on speed
Testing and providing feedback on pre-release editor features

Alternatives:

Xcode – Apple's official IDE, which is more comprehensive but also heavier than Chime.
VS Code – A highly extensible, cross-platform editor that runs on Electron, unlike the native Chime.
BBEdit – A long-standing, powerful native macOS text editor with a strong focus on text manipulation.
