Let me first of all thank you for even attempting this. An editor that comes out of the box for golang would be greatly appreciated by a lot of people, myself included.
First thing I notice opening chime is that I don't know what I can do with it. -
Other than opening a folder, getting code suggestions with ctrl+space, and getting additional context hovering with alt, I couldn't find anything I could do. - An FAQ or feature list of what Chime is able and not able to do would go a long way.
Additionally a roadmap on the next plans for it, or even better an option for people who got a license to vote for features would be also nice.
---
As of now it seems like a solid start, but without simple things like a keypress to fuzzy match and open a file, show code errors, a way to run tests or code and see the output, it doesn't seem to be usable for day to day work.
---
That been said, the current price is low enough that I'll be getting one simply to show support for the project and come back to it every now and then to see how it evolves.
First, thank you for taking the time to take a look and write some feedback. It's very helpful.
You aren't the first person to have difficultly understanding now to get your bearings. We hear you (and others) loud and clear about an FAQ/feature list.
An actual voting system is an interesting idea. But we prioritize feature work 100% base on feedback. I think we'll probably end up favoring requests from license holders, but we're going to attempt to satisfy as many users as we can. Within the constraints of our desire to build out features carefully.
Navigation by name (to open a file for example) is in the works, but was cut from the 1.0. Errors and warning are also being worked on. Running/testing is highly requested, but we're focusing on those for now.
Extremely kind of you to support the work like that. We will try our best make it something you do want to use for day to day coding.
A GitHub repo where people can file bugs, feature requests, and also track progress on features that are being worked on would also go a long way. This way i can subscribe on a feature I’m interested in and see when it’s shipped or ready to be beta tested.

Good luck :)
