The Gram Code Editor - 2026-08-20

Hey guys, just installed gram and I was trying to install a theme extension. However, it seems that because the extension is not in the root of the repository, the program can't install it through the url, even if it points to the correct folder. Am I doing something wrong?

Yeah this is a limitation at the moment: You will need to clone the repository yourself and then choose to add from a local folder

Hi! Just a question. In the Flatpak version of gram rust needs to be installed inside the Flatpak to compile the extensions or with the normal package manager install is ok?

I think you can install it outside the flatpak because, unfortunately, the flatpak escapes the sandbox entirely right now. But I could be wrong

I will try later! Thanks

Thank you for making gram

Thank you!

i really wanted a simple gui editor to edit my nixos configs and this seems to work perfectly, are there any known issues when running gram as root?

Not that I know, although I haven’t done that myself.

from me testing it out, most things seems fine. the configs were properly generated in /root/.config/gram and does not conflict with anything in my /home/user/.config/gram

the warning before running it as root seemed a bit omnious, that's why i asked

Great! Just be careful around allowing language servers or running tasks that can end up running other processes
