Tech Stack: C, Terminal, ncurses, Custom Rendering Loop

Built a lightweight, terminal-based text editor in pure C, inspired by editors like Vim and Nano. Zen provides essential editing capabilities such as file creation, saving, real-time rendering, and syntax highlighting — all without relying on external libraries.

Key features:

Syntax highlighting and line numbering

Efficient file I/O with low-level buffer control

Real-time key input handling and rendering loop

Scrollable editing interface in the terminal

This project deepened my knowledge of memory management, keyboard interrupt handling, and terminal rendering, making it ideal for clients seeking custom CLI tools, developer utilities, or embedded editing environments.
