I'm impressed how good ImHex is. The pattern matching as code is so smart...

Wait, there is a new hex editor?

You've just made my year!

Wow! The genius behind it!
I cannot say I am an advanced user, but I have to say that the whole experience using it has been great.
What never ceases to amaze me is when opening massive files… throw 1GB of data at it and it’s instant.
Keep up the good work!:)

Thank you! You can throw entire 16TB disk images at it or open a 248 byte large process address space and it will take the same time to open :)

That’s incredible.
I hope your next project is a text editor :D
