About

I’ve spent the last ~2 years building a C&#x2F;C++ IDE for Windows entirely in C99. My goal was to eliminate the bloat of the modern Visual Studio environment keeping its core features.<p>Key Technical Highlights:<p>Zero Dependencies: Just the Windows API<p>Performance: Starts in 0.1ms on a twelve year old machine. It handles projects with 500k+ lines without UI lag or indexing stutters.<p>Integrated Tools: Includes a custom-built debugger, profiler, and Intellisense engine designed for speed.<p>Portability: It’s a single executable. No installer required.<p>I built this because I was tired of waiting 10 seconds for Visual Studio to &quot;wake up&quot; and seeing my RAM disappear just to boot it up. It’s currently hosted on itch.io while I gather funds to set up a dedicated site.
