Stumbled upon zyedidia/micro: A modern and intuitive terminal-based text editor. Simple text editor that wants to be the successor of nano, CLI-based. The static .tar.gz contains an executable that can be directly run. Played with it for 30 seconds and it’s really neat**.

(Need something like vim for someone who doesn’t like vim, but wants to edit files on servers in an easy way in case nano isn’t installed and no sudo rights.)
