Oh, I don't have much at all, yet. I decided to use a piece tree, which is what VS Code calls the data structure they used. I implemented part of that, then realized that VS Code does it that way partly because of limitations with V8. So now I don't even know if I want to go forward with using it or switch to something simpler.

I actually went through the same VS Code articles and ended up implementing a minimal Piece Table for this project. I focused on adding just enough functionality to handle Undo/Redo according to my specific needs.

So far, it has been working well for my use case. Since the codebase is compact, it is straightforward to test and maintain. For a solo project, I've found that using a data structure I can fully grasp is an advantage.

I’m interested to see where your project goes, whether you stick with Piece Tree or pivot. Building an editor from scratch is a unique experience, isn't it?
