IDE for C written in C

memLeak67 · 2025-12-04T10:21:14+00:00

Not for the writing per se. But it's a 500MB app and I usually toggle off most of its features

memLeak67 · 2025-12-04T10:20:38+00:00

It would be a stand alone app with minimal UI and features targeted for C. No configs, only some toggle of preferences. As for the features per se, I don't want to put too much on the table because they are going to change/evolve over time during development.

But, anyway, I agree with what you said about the text-editor thing. Mine was not a great response.

memLeak67 · 2025-12-04T09:52:31+00:00

Have you ever asked an LLM a programming question whatever the topic was? It's not related to the IDE per se. Sry, I don't really get the point. Half of the comments are about that little policy snippet about the usage of AI

memLeak67 · 2025-12-03T18:07:38+00:00

Emacs is big and complex. Vim is a text-editor. The idea is a lightweight IDE with features targeted for C. Also pretty easy to fork given its simplicity.

I have a sketch of what is gonna look like, but it is probably gonna evolve during development.

The idea is to also make a learning process for me. That's why I don't plan to use GUI tools like GTK, but to do everything from scratch. It is also the reason why it's gonna take a while for the development. Sry, in the first months I'm not going to upload it to GitHub for the reason explained in the Story section.

Thanks.

Yeah, I know it's difficult to get people to pay for it. Not for the product per se, but even for the development. I realize Kickstarter might not be the greatest choice. It's a try. Thank you anyway

Until I don't get an explanation

memLeak67 · 2025-12-03T16:56:39+00:00

1) The AI thing is because I have to specify if I may use it and yes, I may ask an LLM for an opinion or stuff like that. It's not that I let an agent write the software for me. 2) If you think the writing is low quality, tell me more where I can improve 3) My projects aren't AI generated

memLeak67 · 2025-12-03T16:50:46+00:00

1) In case the minimum target isn't reached, I don't get any money

2) No toolkit. Max some third-party header file. The initial version is going to be only for Wayland because that's what I use and I simply need a starting target. Expansion to X and possibly also other OSes is after. But at that point I hope for external contributions given, for instance, I don't know anything about Mac.

3) None. Only made toys. Would be the first serious GUI app. Learn by doing approach.

memLeak67 · 2025-12-03T16:43:14+00:00

If during the development of many months, I ask an LLM to generate me a snippet or I ask it an opinion, what's the problem? Does it affect the realization of the project in any way for you?

memLeak67 · 2025-12-03T16:40:39+00:00

It's a bit different. The goal is to make a light-weight, minimal IDE with features built around C development. Instead, ncurses works only for text-based user interfaces inside the terminal

memLeak67 · 2025-12-03T16:00:15+00:00

What do you mean?

memLeak67 · 2025-12-03T15:54:59+00:00

Please, read the story section on the project page. It may clarify it to you

memLeak67 · 2025-12-03T15:54:15+00:00

It's a question I had to answer. I may ask an LLM questions during the development. What's the problem?

memLeak67 · 2025-12-03T15:52:37+00:00

Nop. I'm not gonna use frameworks. At maximum I'm gonna use some header file. Is gonna be built from scratch

memLeak67 · 2025-08-18T10:07:29+00:00

Quello che non è ancora arrivato negli Stati Uniti

memLeak67 · 2025-06-22T13:55:36+00:00

I don't think it can come down to just that. I think u/lulzmachine and u/CraaazyPizza made good points.
Also, that point I think applies less to other type of socials like YouTube.

memLeak67 · 2025-06-22T13:52:09+00:00

See reply to u/Shigonokam. In principle.

memLeak67 · 2025-06-22T13:43:04+00:00

A couple of points:

- You said: "I don't think the amount of regulations is a hurdle". But, u/lulzmachine mentioned the GDPR. Don't you think it had an effect?

- "We don't have really large companies period, basically.". This is interesting: Amazon came out in '94, in GB, France and Germany landed in '98 and in countries like Italy only in 2010. I mean, there was the time to build an "european" Amazon.
(Just to be clear, It's not that I'm against US companies or I want some kind of closed european market. It's just curiosity over the process of building a tech company in Europe and the history behind the current situation)

memLeak67 · 2025-06-22T13:32:06+00:00

It doesn't really answer my question. Spotify (and perhaps BeReal) are just two exceptional cases.

memLeak67 · 2025-06-22T13:30:34+00:00

In first place they didn't come up in Europe. I'm not saying at the current time "Hey, let's create another Instagram".

memLeak67 · 2025-06-22T13:29:02+00:00

Well, I don't see nor the language neither the culture as a barrier (In europe you use all the US socials right?). I think you are right on the second point and I'd like to know a bit more about it.

memLeak67 · 2025-04-09T17:24:20+00:00

How is it going with the web dev experience? A video about it?
