Show HN: The Goal is simple, there should be an actual free editor
Hey HN, I'm Saai, one of the creators of Sylix. I made this open-minded version of Cursor where you can get all of the core features of Cursor but in a fully customizable IDE (Ctrl+K, @docs, parallel agents). We love Cursor so much, but there are so many other features we're building, including all things like multi-edit, parallel swaps, agent indexing (but not the traditional one), parallel LSP, or maybe... we might give agents a better understanding of the codebase via multi-semantic memory in

We love Cursor so much, but there are so many other features we're building, including all things like multi-edit, parallel swaps, agent indexing (but not the traditional one), parallel LSP, or maybe... we might give agents a better understanding of the codebase via multi-semantic memory instead, alongside in-search grep for your system files or workspace. Sylix will be open source once it's stable, but it's a fully customizable tool we've been wanting! Sorry for the delay; well, it's almost a year now. Well, I know developers were waiting for this. The hard part: we're building Sylix not as a traditional fork of VS Code but as a mixer of all things; Sylix is built on top of Monaco Editor along with the Monaco Editor API, backed natively in Rust. The VS Code repo helps a lot, along with its great documentation about the src/workbench files extension, but it's great as we got into it pretty deep. Since we leveraged the monaco-vscode-api, it was easy for us to embed it nicely into our React code. So it was a pretty decent thing for adding a new feature alongside a new UI. For Sylix, all the core systems behind all things built in Rust are done; building just a little polish over the UI is a task since we are not UI designers,s though. Now two things left: a polished UI and the marketplace for Sylix, since we already figured out how we canroute then extension core; just the UI left. One thing we're excited about is how we make things work out after trying over and over a VS Code fork, Void fork, and VS Code 1.58; after trying all those things, it finally works. It's like this: maybe the 6th or 7th version of Sylix works for us. The other benefit is that Sylix is going to be open source once it has a stable version, so we don't need to hide our prompts from what we
