Thoth: An IDE That Grows With You

Wed, 21 Oct 2026 12:00:00 +0000

An IDE that adapts to your exact needs, nothing more, nothing less.

Features

Starts like a simple and lightweight code editor and the user can activate modules to add functionalities to fill their needs. For example a .NET module, an Angular module etc
Experience must be similar to Visual Studio Code on Linux and Windows and similar to LunarVim on terminal
Do not support extensions, the idea is to use the modules to extend the application on-demand

Technology stack

The feature that shapes the stack most is the second one: the same IDE in a window and in a terminal. If the window and the terminal are two programs, every feature is built twice. So the design starts from one core that owns everything an editor does, such as buffers, cursors, syntax trees, language servers, commands, keymaps and modules, and two thin front ends that only draw what the core describes and send it the user’s input. The core and the front ends talk only through typed messages: input events go in, view updates come out. Neither side calls into the other, so a front end can be replaced, and the core could later run in a separate process, for example on a remote machine over SSH.
