SideX

VS Code's editor and workbench rebuilt on Tauri instead of Electron, at a fraction of the size.

Desktopfreeglobal

SideX is an open-source port of Visual Studio Code's editor and workbench built on Tauri instead of Electron, keeping the same editing experience, terminal, and Git integration at roughly 96% the size. It's an early release aimed at developers who want VS Code's editing experience without Electron's memory and disk overhead; the extension host and debugger are still in progress.
