Score: 4.8/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 5, Documentation: 6, Utility: 4)

Grass is a minimalist terminal text editor written in Python, aiming to fill the gap between Nano's simplicity and Vim's power with a single-mode, zero-config editing experience. It features syntax highlighting, a fuzzy file finder, and basic editing operations, while intentionally avoiding plugins and LSP. The project is small (~1,700 lines) and easy to understand.

Target audience: developers, sysadmins, and anyone needing a simple terminal-based text editor
