C/C++ IDE, File Manager/Text Editor
lightweight C/C++ IDE with powerful features
What it does
This backend of the IDE is native code while the UI is built with a custom browser engine whose binary size is less than 1MB. All file operations are asynchronous and in background, making the app very responsive. There are parallel searches and compiling, using all computing cores. Dual pane design with each pane having multiple tabs. You can double click a symbol while holding down Ctrl to go to its definition and open the file in a specified pane. Code folding is syntax based. And many more.

I made this because building UIs in a lexical medium like code is super annoying. I have to pre-render what I’m making in my head, and then jump between the browser and IDE to test. I was inspired by the developer console in chrome and safari since I end up editing css there because it’s ironically more convenient. Hope it’s useful!

Hi HN! Korean high school senior here, about to start CS in college. I built a browser engine from scratch in C++ to understand how browsers work. First time using C++, 8 weeks of development, lots of debugging—but it works! Features: - HTML parsing with error correction - CSS cascade and inheritance - Block/inline layout engine - Async image loading + caching - Link navigation + history Hardest parts: - String parsing(html, css) - Rendering - Image Caching & Layout Reflowing What I learned (beyond code): - Systematic debugging is crucial - Ship with known bugs rather than chase…
