Our First Full-Time Contributor: A Big Step Forward
We’re excited to share a milestone moment in CodeEdit’s journey:
For the first time, we’ve brought on a full-time contributor to work on the project.
Thanks to the steady support from our sponsors over the past few years, we’ve been able to bring on Khan Winter, one of our most dedicated and impactful contributors, to focus full-time on development for a limited period.
This is a big deal for us.
CodeEdit has always been a passion-driven, community-built project. Everyone involved has juggled this work alongside full-time jobs, school, and life. So having someone dedicated full-time — even just for a few months — means we can finally move at the kind of pace we’ve been dreaming about. It’s a chance to fix long-standing issues, polish key features, and make meaningful progress toward a 1.0 release.
Our Development Strategy
To make the most of this focused time, we’ve laid out a prioritized roadmap. The roadmap is broken down into clearly defined phases, with top-priority items at the top of each phase.
Khan’s approach is simple:
- Pick the highest priority item in the current phase
- Knock it out
- Repeat until the phase is complete
- Then move on to the next phase
He will also be posting daily progress updates and sharing weekly progress updates at our community meetup held every Saturday at 3pm UTC (join us on Discord to attend).
This rhythm helps us stay focused, get feedback early, and iterate quickly.
A Note from Khan

Get Involved
This full-time window won’t last forever — we have a limited runway, and we want to make the most of it. That’s why we’re inviting you to get involved in whatever way makes sense for you:
- 💙 Sponsor CodeEdit – Help us extend this full-time effort
- 💻 Contribute – Join the dev conversation, submit a PR, or help with docs
- 🗣️ Join our community – Hang out in Discord, join the weekly meetup, share your feedback
We believe CodeEdit can become the default code editor for macOS — fast, beautiful, open source, and built with care for the platform and community it serves.
This is a step in that direction.
Thanks for being part of it.
