Tide42 – A Fast, Minimalist CLI IDE for Terminal-Centric Devs (programming.dev)

Hey devs, I recently wrapped the latest stable release of Tide42, a lightweight terminal-based IDE designed for speed, flexibility, and a clean coding experience — especially for those of us who live in the terminal.

Tide42 integrates tmux, nvim, and thoughtful Bash scripting into a seamless dev workflow with:

True 256-color support (color toggle with -c)

Elegant, fast session layout using tmux

Self-updating mechanism (--update) to pull the latest version from GitHub

Multi-distro install script for Debian, Arch, macOS (via apt, pacman, brew)

Respectful config handling – never overwrites your dotfiles

Simple interactive file launcher (tide42 )

Quiet mode for scripts (-q)

Try it out: GitHub: github.com/logicmagix/tide42 License: GPLv3 Clone, install, and run tide42 to get started.

Emacs has panes. Is this supposed to imitate a fraction of the holy power? ;)

OK What the hell man I love this in concept. Definitly not something I'd use, got my own setup and I like it quite alot, but fuck man I've always described NeoVim as a build it yourself text editor and you've said here "why stop at neovim?"

Hell yeah my guy. That's such a cool way to at least get your environment running on any system. Would love to look into this to see if I can do something similar. Right now I just have a bash script that builds up my env.

great idea to just wrap existing tools! love that. now i just need to figure out how to switch out the editor...

I have a pretty complex nvim setup already for general editing. Is there any way this could handle all the custom nvim stuff somewhere else and leave my existing config alone? When I tried it just now it installed an init.vim next to my init.lua in ~/.config/nvim, which didn't clobber anything but did break both tide42 and normal nvim.
