I have been working on an editor written in D for use with D for some time now and have made a blog post about it.

Any feedback or suggestions are welcome.

A completely unhumble request: Please change the name :)

Deadcode is the Internet nickname of my good friend David Ellsworth, who is also a D programmer, and with whom I have attended DConf 2013 and 2014. As there is already a Deadcode in D, a second one is a name collision :)

is it working in GNU/Linux? and will the source code be available?

It is currently only compiling on linux and I haven't tried to start it there. It is based on libsdl so I don't see much trouble in getting it to work.

Funny because linux used to be my only OS for many years until I got my current job where we don't use linux in general.

I'll probably open source it when it is out of beta.

I'll give it a thought.

so it's using it's own ttf renderer (or SDL_ttf)? ah, too bad for
me. :-(

may i ask why don't you go with open source from the start? i'm not insisting on anything, i'm just curious.

Neat and nice use of the libdparser! In fact I'm writing a editor for myself and I will do something like this too.

I used most of last year just getting the gui framework, resource management, animation framework, text editor etc. working. Integrating libdparser after that only took a couple of days.

If you are writing an editor yourself you can definitely get to similar state by using existing gui libraries etc. I didn't go that route partly because of the NIH syndrome and partly because I wanted a gui framework that would feel familiar to web developers for styling.

Do you have some info/link to your editor?

It is using SDL_ttf to render glyphs to fontmaps. I use these together with opengl in the text layout engine to get the final result.

It started out on my own github server with a lot of expermentation that didn't make sense to share and it just wasn't a priority to open source it before it was ready.

This is pretty sweet dude, keep us posted on the development.
