orchid is a lightweight text editor written mostly in Lua. It aims to provide something practical, pretty, and small. Like an orchid. All these features are to be implemented as simply as possible; easy to modify and extend, or to use without doing either.

Additional functionality can be added through plugins which will be available from two repositories, one for plugins and the other for color themes. The editor can be customized by making changes to the user module.

You can build the project yourself on Linux using the build.sh script or on Windows using the build.bat script (MinGW is required). Note that the project does not need to be rebuilt if you are only making changes to the Lua portion of the code.
