Show HN: flint - SSH and SFTP client built with GPUI

A developer released flint, an open-source SSH and SFTP client built with GPUI, the Rust UI framework behind the Zed editor, as an alternative to Termius, which the developer said consumed excessive RAM, lagged, and charged $20 for its team plan. The client is local-first with optional sync and teams, is not written in Electron, and was "mostly built with ai," according to the developer; the macOS and Windows app is available at flint.mouse.pw and the source at github.com/mousEHEHE/flint-gpui. The API is not open source, but the developer said a self-hosted version will be added if the app gains users.

i was using Termius, but it ate all my ram, lagged, and charged 20 bucks for the team plan. so being impressed by how fast Zed felt i tried to make an alternative with GPUI. me and my friends have used it for some time and now i want to show it to other people. i tried to make the design look like Zed because i really like it, but i'm not sure it turned out well. would love to hear what you think. it's open-source, mostly built with ai but it doesn't eat my ram and isn't written in electron. local-first sync and teams are optional . the api is not open source, but if people start using the app, i'll add a self-hosted version. git: https://github.com/mousEHEHE/flint-gpui https://github.com/mousEHEHE/flint-gpui mac and windows: https://flint.mouse.pw https://flint.mouse.pw Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50257891 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50257891 Points: 1 Comments: 0
