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.

Title: The Hendersons’ New Lawn

Artistic Style: His work is characterized by detailed line work, expressive anatomy, and a mastery of contrast and shading. The style is frequently described as bold and "edgy".

Title: The Unfinished Narrative

“Case isn't closed yet. Just getting started.”

“We prefer adjusted,” Croft said. “The soil here was… noisy. Now it’s quiet. You’ll sleep better.”

Elias often found John’s presence distracting. It wasn’t that John was loud; it was that he was so mundanely real. Elias was trying to conjure a world of high stakes and femme fatales, and right next door, John was just existing—solid, boring, and indisputably three-dimensional.

John stared across the alley. He raised a hand, not in a wave, but pointing a finger gun at Elias. Then, he smiled—a tired, knowing grin—and dropped the cigarette, crushing it under his heel.
