Does Nova support LSP? Their marketing page doesn't mention it so I've always wondered.

They do. There are extension APIs which allows you to trivially connect to a LSP server, but last time I tried out-of-the-box support didn't exist. (Edit: it still doesn't exist)

There is some more info here: https://novadocs.panic.com

LSP support extension documentation is here: https://novadocs.panic.com/api-reference/language-client/

We're also super curious about this. We started Chime when Coda (pre-Nova) was all but abandoned. Panic is probably the best/worst competitor you can have for a macOS app, but we're very excited to see what they do. I'll probably lose sleep checking it out when I'm finally able to.

Checking out https://novadocs.panic.com/api-reference/language-client/ would help. It's the extension API documentation to connect LSP servers... but out-of-the-box JS LSP support doesn't yet exist. (Not sure about other languages though)

Edit: Python looks like LSP is working. This is a simple demo GIF: (warning - very big(23MB).) https://s5.gifyu.com/images/nova-python-demo.md.gif

Oh wow this is fascinating! It would have been pretty crazy to not use LSP, so that's good to see. Looks incredibly customizable, with a JS API. Definitely going to be popular!
