The Gram Code Editor - 2026-03-30

I think mainly we have removed dependencies like alsa, besides that it should work yes

I upgraded from Gram 1.0 -> 1.2 (macOS). I wonder if there is a way to get the 1.0 app icon back? I find it a bit more whimsical :-) and visually appealing

(this is the old version I have in mind: https://codeberg.org/repo-avatars/db3c603db15703a222907cc8e8e268fe1c1020bb453cfc1b37dfac85064a25d7)

hi everyone! ^w^ do you have a page or text that is ewplaining the "no automatic installation or update" and the "extensions must be built from source and do not auto-update" policies? I don't understand why you made this choices so I would like to understand your position! Thanks!

The main reason is that I don’t want the editor to download binaries from anywhere without explicit permission, and I don’t like software which updates automatically: If it works for me, I don’t need any update. Let me choose how and when to update.

@kevin There is no Tahoe-version of that icon and the format was not quite correct, but thank you 😄 I don’t know if it’s possible to make the icon a choice in the settings, but if it is I might be able to provide that at some point

Ah yeah another point regarding auto updates is around extensions: I do want to provide a way to check the git source for updates if installed that way, and to update from the editor. But yeah I prefer not to update automatically

for the editor itself, you would get updates by installing from apt / brew / flathub or something like that, instead of having the updating built into the editor

Hello, is it possible to compile the remote server for AArch64 Linux so that it can run on a Raspberry Pi?

Yes, the only problem really is that the bundle-linux script is not set up for cross compilation. But it’s on my todo list to sort out the scripts and provide aarch64 binaries

Thank you, so I’m probably doing something wrong :)

hm, so what is it that you are trying to do? 😄 cross-compiling from where? Unfortunately I don’t think a raspberry pi has enough memory to compile so you’d need an arm system with more memory or to cross compile

and for cross compilation you will also need a GCC for the target (aarch64 musl)

I have added an aarch64 remote-server binary to the 1.2.1 release now. I haven’t tested it though, and it’s cross-compiled from Mac. So not sure if I got everything right
