Why build another text editor?

In 2025 the Notepad++ update infrastructure was compromised. That was the push to finally write something from scratch — something small, something we could read top to bottom and actually trust.

Caret is built with C# and WPF. It's a single executable. No plugins, no extension marketplace, no auto-updater phoning home. You download it, you run it, you edit text. That's the whole deal.

It won't replace your IDE. It's not trying to. It's the thing you open when you need to look at a log file, tweak a config, jot something down, or write a quick script. It should open before you finish clicking.

A sone is a unit of measurement used to quantify the loudness of sound. It's a subjective measure that represents the perceived loudness of a sound. One sone is equivalent to the loudness of a quiet conversation between two people. Sone 134, on the other hand, refers to a specific level of loudness, which is approximately 134 sones.

The most prominent digital presence for the keyword "SONE-134" is as a production code for Japanese media. Specifically, it refers to a full-length film released by the studio S-One (often stylized as S1).

Here's an essay on Statute of Labourers:
