[Neon Vision Editor] Add project management features

Hey everyone, I’m a Data Scientist working in enterprise IT (mostly Python/Cloud infra). Like many of you, I spend half my life in VS Code or JetBrains IDEs. They are powerful, but they are also heavy. Sometimes I just need to quickly tweak a Python script, check a JSON config, or review a README without launching a browser instance wrapped in a desktop app or waiting for an indexing process to finish. I wanted something that felt like a native citizen of macOS—fast, lightweight, and respectful of my battery life—but still had modern syntax highlighting. So, I created [Neon Vision Editor](https://github.com/h3pdesign/Neon-Vision-Editor) with **Swift UI.** It’s an alpha release, written purely in Swift and AppKit. No Electron, no cross-platform abstraction layers, no telemetry. Just a text editor that opens instantly and lets you work.What it is: **Native & Fast: Built for macOS 26 (Tahoe) using Apple Silicon.** Zero Bloat: No project management, no plugins, no background indexing. Readable: High-contrast syntax highlighting for swift, python, javascript, typescript, java, kotlin, go, ruby, rust, sql, html, css, c, cpp, objective-c, json, xml, yaml, toml, ini, markdown, bash, zsh, powershell, plain **Syntax highlighting is being automatically applied** to an opened file or pasted content. Privacy-First: It doesn’t phone home. Includes AI features for the use of Apple foundation model (and others) for syntax suggestions and some simple code completion (currently not functional yet). **Why I built it:** In my day job handling it infrastructure and migrations, complexity is the enemy. I wanted a tool that does one thing well: edits text. I don’t need my text editor to play music or brew coffee; I just need it to open a 10MB log file without choking. **Current Status:** It’s currently in alpha. It’s stable enough for daily use (I use it for all my quick edits), but it is a work in progress. **Where to get it: You can grab the build from GitHub Releases:** [https://github.com/h3pdesign/Neon-Vision-Editor](https://github.com/h3pdesign/Neon-Vision-Editor) I’d love to hear what you think. I’m specifically looking for feedback on load times with large files and how the syntax highlighting feels to other developers. Built by a human. AI tools used selectively for ideation and assets.
