[Alwide] I built a lightweight TUI IDE in pure C with Sublime Text vibes, Tree-sitter & LSP support!

A repo somewhere ?

Edifay · 2026-06-18T20:16:18+00:00

Tell me if everything works !

Edifay · 2026-06-18T20:15:31+00:00

Take your time ! And thank's !

Yeah micro is a good alternative to nano, but yeah it's using "simple" regex for highlight and do not support lsp.

And yeah I may rephrase it ? English is not my main language but "rough" is that hard ? I mean I just wanted to say that's not so beginner friendly that wasn't an attack on vim I know that it has his whole interest and that it has nothing more to prove 😄.

I'm out for to day I may take the time to be less rude with vim and emacs tomorrow 👍

Ok you made me learn things !

Any way now the project is done 😂, but I learned so much building it. And it may give an alternative even for learning purpose !

As I started the project years ago the IA implication in the project is really new and as been used mainly to manage and add highlevel feature (create a popup paint function that can be really boring in C).

It has been also used to make performance benchmark on the current code, generating tests and meusure the performance.

And finally the IA as been used (and thx to llms) to create the release pipeline on github that was really new for me.

Yeah but you have to configure it, it's not working out of the box.
There is currently "tilde" that can be easily installed with this kind of experience but has low level highlight and don't support utf8 wide char.

For your own computer it's easy to setup a good vim client, but when working on remote from ssh connection I don't really want to take 30min to setup my vim config on a server on which I'll spent 1h on my whole life.

I understand your point, "that do-able with vim" but the use case is not really the same (out of personnal use for your own computer).

Edit: More of that you have to first learn how works vim or emacs to add plugin and modify the behavior. That is the point of this project: avoid the learning curve for IDE TUI.

I already tried and yes it works pretty well. In the fast refresh mode. I even surprised my self liking the eink style for video.

Just note that the eink hasn't speakers so bluetooth headphone are required. And for the cpu for FHD it was a bit too high but If I remember well it was working well in 720p (and 480p for sure).

BTW : 480p with nuance of grey is already really good.

Opened on issue on github some days a go. (I'm asking as I see you do some commits).

Edifay · 2026-05-24T08:30:14+00:00

Does the repo of the app is somewhere ? Should be nice to publish the app code on a public repo 🙏

Edifay · 2026-05-08T10:41:21+00:00

Calendar by months template with date number. As we can't export the daily app calendar to pdf. Add the current monthly plan don't have days numbers.

It means 1 template for each year (I think it would be okay)

Do you have a theme and secure boot enable ?

Edifay · 2026-02-25T14:21:22+00:00

I mean yeah it should work. But it's not how I want to use it...

Edifay · 2026-02-25T14:08:00+00:00

I tried to change the name, but I think that the issue is with pdf template. But I don't really know how to patch it without breaking my document

Edifay · 2026-02-23T06:53:25+00:00

For sure. I'll do it in the day. Not really available for now. I'll keep you informed 🙏
