This is a fork of Atom, right?

It's funny the README doesn't mention it.

It is mentioned in the About Us page.

The team behind Pulsar is a community that came about naturally after the announcement of Atom's Sunset and decided that they needed to do something about it to keep their favorite editor alive.

Your comment is almost irrelevant to the original post. It's not in README which is what most people look at. I never look at "about us" unless I am really interested in what's going on. And this is just very strange when the entire foundation of the code is based on another project but they don't mention it in a visible way.

Honestly we thought we had covered it enough without flying too close to any trademark misuse claims from GitHub but it appears not so we are going to look at seeing what we can do to make it more obvious.

Edit - Have another look, we edited the readme to make it more obvious. The readme is due a massive branding overhaul but hopefully this addresses the immediate concern.
