### Note: This project, while started without AI years ago, is now heavily driven by AI development. I intend for that to be transparent, and that any mistakes or code quality issues be brought forward through issues. I realize this is controversial, and respect your decision to avoid this software if you disagree with how it is being created. 

If you would like to learn how AI is being used on this project, there will be a description of the current system at the bottom of this readme. 

Fizzy is an empty modular editor shell, which dynamically loads and unloads compiled plugins to provide editor functionality. It includes a store where plugins can be published as well as a store tab to browse and install these plugins.

Fizzy currently offers multiple ways for an application to be created, taking advantage of its windowing or other features.

1. a plain DVUI app just using the fizzy backend for windowing
2. a fizzy application, which can take advantage of plugins/store
3. a fizzy plugin

Fizzy gets built for its target platforms for releases, and comes as a fully installable and signed application. It ships with nothing but simple text editing and image viewing capabilities, and markdown support so store items can display READMEs. An application can opt not to include these default plugins, or make use of embedded plugins without plugin loading/updating/watching for hot reload.

Fizzy offers a SDK for developing plugins and several plugins already exist that can be installed, which are part of the fizzyedit org. These plugins will always be primary to the development of fizzy and used to exercise the plugin SDK and abilities of the editor.

- [pixi](https://github.com/fizzyedit/pixi) - Pixel art editor. Provides a grid structure for editing and creating animation frames, making use of Lospec palettes, and packing sprites into an atlas. This plugin uses its own workflow, and draws its cursors using its atlas. 
- [zig](https://github.com/fizzyedit/zig) - Zig language plugin, providing syntax highlighting and ZLS functionality (if compatible ZLS is in PATH) (hover/goto definition/signature help). The builtin `text` plugin is what this works alongside
- [ghostty](https://github.com/fizzyedit/ghostty) - Plugin adding only a bottom panel, which uses `ghostty_vt` to provide a cross-platform terminal.
- [chat](https://github.com/fizzyedit/chat) - Communication made generic, and compatible with agents
- [agent](https://github.com/fizzyedit/agent) - have a
