Nova Panic editor (and extensions)
Hey everybody. I was wondering if anybody here has used Panic’s Nova editor.
It came out recently and I saw there was no Elixir Formatter extension, so I built one. This extension depends on another general Elixir language support extension.
Hopefully this helps out any Elixir devs who want to try out the new editor. Happy coding!

Yup, it’s really cool. Unfortunately the Elixir extension that adds syntax highlighting doesn’t do a very good job so I won’t be using it until either someone makes a better one, improves the existing one, or I stumble into enough free time to do it myself.

I’m not sure if he’s published it yet, but Carl Brand on the Elixir Slack has started on an ElixirLS extension for Nova, and has made some headway.

Sure you can find the repo at: https://github.com/brandc87/nova-elixirls
@pinksynth suggested we combine the formatter in one extension but not rely on the language server and invoke mix format so I’m just about to push changes for that

Hey, it has been published but Nova seems to be handling the language server implementation differently. The code is on GitHub if anyone wants to contribute - it’s my first extension so might be going in the wrong direction. Nova just implemented the Snippets protocol for language servers but still isn’t working correctly so investigating that right now.

We just released the first beta of Nova 12. (Release Notes coming soon.
Because of the abnormally long development cycle for this version, we’ll be extending licenses for anyone who bought Nova in August 2023 or later to include Nova 12. We’ll do something similar for Nova 13, with a later cutoff date, when it comes out.
Thank you for your patience, and we’re sorry for the delay. Nova 13 won’t take nearly as long.
11.10 users can get the beta by enabling beta updates in General settings.
I’m using VSCode/Cursor now but I’d love to switch back to Nova if the Elixir syntax highlighting, code completion and (perhaps) AI agent support improves.
