+Pulsar: A Community-Led Open Source Code Editor to Continue the Legacy of Atom
+======
+
+Pulsar aims to be a replacement for Atom users, and could challenge Visual Studio code as its development progresses further.
+
+![Pulsar: A Community-Led Open Source Code Editor to Continue the Legacy of Atom][1]
+
+It is no surprise that Microsoft decided to kill the Atom text editor to favor Visual Studio Code.
+
+If you did not know, you could take a glance through our older coverage:
+
+While you may have had better options, Atom was an impressive tool when it was popular.
+
+**A community build for it is already available**; however, there seems to be a new version (**Pulsar**) that aims to bring feature parity with the original Atom and introduce modern features and updated architecture.
+
+As per its documentation, the original team that worked on Atom-Community is now involved with creating Pulsar. The reason why they made a separate fork is because of different goals for the projects.
+
+**Pulsar** wants to modernize everything to present a successor to Atom.
+
+> 💡 Pulsar is a new project, as a new fork to Atom, with dev/beta releases available to test.
+
+### Pulsar Editor: What's to see here?
+
+![pulsar editor][2]
+
+Of course, the user interface is much of the same. Considering Pulsar hasn't had a stable release yet, the branding could sometimes seem all over the place.
+
+However, the essentials seem to be there with the documentation, packages, and features like the ability to install packages from Git repositories.
+
+The key feature highlights for Pulsar, as per the official website, include:
+
+- **Cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, and Windows)**
+- **Built-in package manager**
+- **Smart autocompletion**
+- **File system browser**
+- **Multiple pane user interfaces**
+- **Find and replace feature**
+
+At the time of writing this, automatic updates for Pulsar are not available. You will be able to install newer versions through the official website.
+
+![pulsar editor settings][3]
+
+You can customize the editor, change keybindings, manage packages, apply themes, and configure your experience with all the available options.
+
+As of now, it is too soon to say if Pulsar will become something better than what the Atom community version offers. However, it is something that we can keep an eye on.
+
+### Download and Try Pulsar
+
+As mentioned earlier, Pulsar is in its early development stage. So, you can find binaries for Linux distributions and AppImage file that you can try on any distro.
+
+In my test, it **did not work for Linux Mint**, but it worked fine with **Ubuntu 22.04 LTS**.
+
+You can head to its [official download page][4] to get the package required for your system and test it out.
