Show HN: SideX – VS Code rebuilt on Tauri instead of Electron (96% smaller)

AI Score Reasoning

SideX addresses a significant pain point regarding Electron's resource intensity in the developer tool market, but faces a massive uphill battle against Microsoft's ecosystem dominance. While the technical achievement of a 96% size reduction is impressive, the project currently lacks the team pedigree and traction signals required for a high-conviction venture investment.
