The recently imposed "must be logged in" restriction is a response to increased bot traffic on the site. This affects search, commits, and vuxml pages.
Search engines are not blocked. Try using "site:www.freshports.org" and your search terms.
After the ports freeze to fix some stuff, the freeze is over. I have some work to do before FreshPorts can start processing commits again before it can start processing again. I've created an issue for that.

Description:
Small, fast and limited text editor Features and limitations: * Has syntax highlighting for Go code. * Never asks before saving or quitting. Be careful. * Home and End are not detected by the key handler. * Can format Go code using gofmt (press ctrl-f). * Expects utilities like gofmt to be in /usr/bin. * Will strip trailing whitespace whenever it can. * Must be given a filename at start. * Requires that /dev/tty is available. * Copy, cut and paste is only for one line at a time. * Some letters can not be typed in. Like the "ash" grapheme formed from the letters a and e.
