Question

If I set up a Github project for a toy /prog/ OS, would that be a thing that people are actually interested in contributing to?

Basically, what I think would be cool is a text editor that is both fully portable and contains some neat features that others are lacking.
The key notion, I think, is that it should be able to be carried around on a usb stick and installed on as many systems as possible.
It wouldn't have to be that complex - just have a solid editor with syntax that isn't shitty, and there will always be users who view it as a better option. If they're able to just compile it on whatever workstation they're using, it'll become a highly regarded tool for programmers.
