Because I wanted the full ide on my iPhone so I can code while away from my laptop doing fun stuff with my kids. And I don’t like the Claude codex fire and forget approach.

The ide I built has a full terminal, file system, git integration and AI agent. It uses a private cloud Linux container that is persistent so I can install packages and do anything I want from any phone, computer or browser. It’s amazing that we live in a time where we can build custom software for ourselves just for fun. I will never have to worry about cursor or vs changing getting bought and moth balled like Atom (my favorite ide). I now own my tool and will forever.

I'm just guessing, but IDE which is using 3D acceleration just for stupid UI to run "smoothly", that is ridiculous.

Who runs IDE with LLM agents accessing your local filesystem, on bare metal?

Or am I alone to run everything LLM related on my VM just for development work. Then because of ZED genius decision, you need to share your GPU to VM, then some important features will not work, like snapshots. So you also need workaround for this, etc.

Too much hassle, Zed is not for me.

But I'm anti-Apple, so maybe that's the reason :)

Btw, even "ImHex" devs realized this and they're providing version without acceleration for VM use. They're using ImGui. Using it for local desktop app UI is also ridiculous, imho. Whatever.
