  There's nothing on the official website or GitHub that indicates what this software is, other than a cropped screenshot that looks like vscode with a prompt pop up over it.

  Edit: I still can't figure out if this is just some sarcastic joke software or something.

  Im curious. How did the github repo get 1.9k stars after just 2 weeks of development. Was it shared heavily on chinese social media (I noticed lots of github issues were written in chinese) ? I couldn't find any traces of it on twitter/google .

  So looking through the dependencies, it's CodeMirror with a VsCode theme on top of it, that includes Copilot. Why wouldn't I just use an existing editor with Copilot support?
