  "one_liner": "A minimal text editor that opens very large files instantly and draws colour emoji.",
  "text": {
    "why": "Past a few hundred megabytes, most editors stall on open. miu maps the file instead of loading it whole, so a large file opens straight away, and being written directly against C++ and Win32 keeps it light.",
    "take": "It spends its effort on opening fast and not freezing rather than on features — a difference you feel immediately if you read logs for a living.",
    "build": [
      "Text and colour emoji are rendered with DirectWrite. It has regular-expression search and replace with case and whole-word options, multiple cursors, rectangular selection, unlimited undo, a dark mode and F1 help, and uses Google’s compact_enc_det to detect encodings. Built binaries are on GitHub Releases."
