What is ecode?
ecode is a highly efficient and user-friendly code editor specifically designed to meet the demands of modern hardware. Its primary focus is on delivering exceptional responsiveness and optimal performance, ensuring that developers can work seamlessly without any lag or delays.
One of the key features that sets ecode apart is its utilization of the cutting-edge hardware-accelerated eepp GUI, which enhances the overall user experience and provides a smooth and fluid interface. Furthermore, ecode is committed to constantly improving the eepp GUI library, making it even more robust and versatile for developers around the world.
The project philosophy of includes extendable functionality, prioritizing performance and memory usage, utilizing machine resources without abuse, and considering modern hardware.
