You’re right that "lightweight" is a loaded term. For this project, I don't mean a small memory footprint—after all, it's Electron.
What I’m aiming for is "lightweight" in terms of perceived performance and simplicity. I wanted to match the near-instant startup and the snappy typing feel of a basic text editor (like Notepad), while still having the Emacs keybindings I love.
By stripping away the heavy IDE-like features and focusing on core editor responsiveness, I'm trying to make it feel "light" for daily, quick tasks.
