It looks cool but generally I don't get the hype around tiling/window managers.
I use everything on full screen. I mean, it's all a browser and a code editor, what else are you running even? And why don't you use the whole space?

I'm getting used to my terminal day by day. I still have so much to learn. Right now I only use:
- Chrome
- Ghostty
- Slack
Nothing else is opened on my computer. Always a few tabs, completely focused. No external display, no external keyboard or mouse. Only a MacBook Pro.

Do you want to live in a world where you pay $20 for your browser and $15 for your terminal?

I quit my job today, but I have a 4-week notice period. I also started working with clients.
Therefore, for a few weeks, there will be small updates on the code editor.
But you guys know how fast I go. So, don’t worry. No sleep for a while.
Alpha version of Athas (lightweight code editor) will be launched at the end of July.

Added settings. Added git status tracking to file tree. You can apparently just do things.

also you need an external mouse. so it's two things. and the laptop has a lot of stickers on it... a huge search bar on the dock... maybe i'm going too far with this but, he even uses a physical notepad because there is nothing like apple notes on windows 😭

Desktop applications should have 100% keyboard navigability.
This is one thing that makes an app "good". It should not be bloated, over-complicated.
It shouldn't make you feel like you're pushing too hard. It should just feel natural.
Cover most cases but still some people won't like it. Then you have to make it customizable.

UI Designers → Figma is the forge. They can stay there from sketch → prototype → handoff.
Developers → coding is fragmented: editors, build systems, package managers, linters, formatters, version control, deployment, monitoring, etc.
There is no single forge.
The UI design example might be a little off, but it actually "lets you" to deliver a whole project without needing to keep different apps, tabs, windows open.
The goal is to bring at least a few things to one single focused platform. AI is writing most of our code anyway. So the thing we must focus is may not be "writing code", it's "reviewing code" and doing refactoring.
Zed is perfect. I'm using it. But I find their development speed rather slower, since they do most of the things from scratch, even their own GUI library. When are they going to ship on mobile or on web? God knows.
But they're simply perfect. I'm inspired by them. You can follow the agent when it's working on your codebase. You can view all the warnings and errors in one vertical view. It's blazingly fast and literally beautiful.
I'd like to dream one app though, it works on everywhere, opinionated, convention over configuration. And that is Athas Code Editor.

If Taylor pays 400m$ to Kanye to buy everything Kanye owns, wouldn’t Kanye still have 400m$ net worth?

I will open-source Athas after the alpha launch.
We also need to create a package so people can integrate the editor to their projects, just like the monaco editor.
I will be focusing on the core features instead of speed-running all the features.

It all started with this.
It’s been almost 2 weeks since I started developing the code editor.
I also have a day job. So I don’t have much time.
But I will finish the beta version real soon.

I take my notes like this.
I created a small script using Claude Code. You just go "jn <entry>" and it inserts to YYYY-MM-DD markdown file with a timestamp.
Also you can type "jn" to open up all your notes on neovim, and see them by date and timestamp.
Less cognitive overload. No need to find names for notes.
