Graviton: A Minimalist Open Source Code Editor
======
[Graviton][1] is a free and open source, cross-platform code editor in development. The sixteen years old developer, Marc Espin, emphasizes that it is a minimalist code editor. I am not sure about that but it does have a clean user interface like other [modern code editors like Atom][2].
![Graviton Code Editor Interface][3]
The developer also calls it a lightweight code editor despite the fact that Graviton is based on [Electron][4].
Graviton comes with features you expect in any standard code editors like syntax highlighting, auto-completion etc. Since Graviton is still in the beta phase of development, more features will be added to it in the future releases.
![Graviton Code Editor with Syntax Highlighting][5]
### Feature of Graviton code editor
Some of the main highlights of Graviton features are:
* Syntax highlighting for a number of programming languages using [CodeMirrorJS][6]
* Autocomplete
* Support for plugins and themes.
* Available in English, Spanish and a few other European languages.
* Available for Linux, Windows and macOS.
I had a quick look at Graviton and it might not be as feature-rich as [VS Code][7] or [Brackets][8], but for some simple code editing, its not a bad tool.
### Download and install Graviton
![Graviton Code Editor][9]
As mentioned earlier, Graviton is a cross-platform code editor available for Linux, Windows and macOS. It is still in beta stages which means that you more features will be added in future and you may encounter some bugs.
You can find the latest version of Graviton on its release page. Debian and [Ubuntu users can install it from .deb file][10]. [AppImage][11] has been provided so that it could be used in other distributions. DMG and EXE files are also available for macOS and Windows respectively.
[Download Graviton][12]
If you are interested, you can find the source code of Graviton on its GitHub repository:
[Graviton Source Code on GitHub][13]
If you decided to use Graviton and find some issues, please open a bug report [here][14]. If you use GitHub, you may want to star the Graviton project. This boosts the morale of the developer as he would know that more users are appreciating his efforts.

I believe you know [how to install a software from source code][16] if you are taking that path.
**In the end…**
Sometimes, simplicity itself becomes a feature and the Gravitons focus on being minimalist could help it form a niche for itself in the already crowded segment of code editors.
At Its FOSS, we try to highlight open source software. If you know some interesting open source software that you would like more people to know about, [do send us a note][17].
