Heh, the name wasn’t chosen to reach a huge audience anyway. If I get too many users, I might lose my zen over trying to support them 😂

But I’m happy to have a few folks along who don’t mind building their IDE from source.

Thanks!

As for the motivation of the fork, basically two reasons:

• Even though you can disable AI features and configure the layout, the teasers and some UI elements remain as they try to draw you in.
• I want to use their UI framework and editor for a different project too, so I want to be able to start that from a trimmed down base anyway.

Hehe, I suppose it might to some extent 😅 But well, I don't wish to control how others do their coding, and it would be silly to ignore other's code altogether because they used a different method than the one I prefer.

Yeah, if you don't mind the UI clutter/teasers, it doesn't make much of a difference. For now, the most noticeable difference is that the default layout is more old-school, with the project layout and the git panel on the left-hand side again, though even without this fork you can configure it to be like that too.

Nothing wrong with them! But since I want to build another tool on top of it (for fiction/novel outlining and writing) I figured this was a good exercise to become familiar with the codebase. And since I still do some Rust development, having control over both my IDE and my writing software seemed an added benefit :)

I'll aim to sync changes from upstream about once a month. But given that I don't have prebuilt binaries or anything, for now I expect only people enthusiastic enough to build from source to use it :)
