About atom/atom

Atom is a text editor built on Electron that was designed to be deeply customizable while remaining approachable for users with default settings. Written primarily in JavaScript, it brings together features from popular editors of the time and emphasizes hackability, allowing users and developers to extend and modify its functionality. The editor runs cross-platform on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with automatic updates available on most systems.

The project has been archived as of December 2022, but remains available in its final form. Atom provided comprehensive documentation through the Flight Manual and API reference, making it accessible both for users learning the editor and developers creating packages and extensions. The community was supported through GitHub Discussions and Twitter updates, with an emphasis on maintainable code and inclusive contribution through its adoption of the Contributor Covenant code of conduct.
