# An editor for plain text.

# spokecone.love
A tool for manually and painstakingly creating debug experiences tailored to a
specific domain and program. In combination with [tenonauger.love](), get on
the road to learning to [reinvent wheels](https://handmade.network/jam) for
[bicyles of the mind](https://merveilles.town/@akkartik/108607458977376162).

Not very useful by itself, but it's a fork of [lines.love](http://akkartik.name/lines.html)
that you can take in other directions besides line drawings, while easily
sharing patches between forks.

Concretely, spokecone.love is an editor for Lua programs written in a certain
style amenable to debug by print. The programs are plain text, but with a
twist. Everything after a `;` is hidden by default, but can be shown on
demand. Evolve your debug prints with your program while keeping programs
looking clean and short by default. The debug prints will get logged during
execution. Customize how objects are serialized, and how [tenonauger.love]()
renders them.

spokecone.love is a fork of [lines.love](http://akkartik.name/lines.html),
an editor for plain text where you can also seamlessly insert line drawings.

([The name is inspired by modern wheelwrights working to keeping their craft alive.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOXT3dFFOPU))
