Show HN: I left VSCode to build an IDE to handle many projects/agents workflow

A developer built a new open-source IDE to replace VSCode for managing multiple coding agents and projects simultaneously, with terminals as first-class citizens and persistent background project states. The IDE features a tight core with an extensible SDK, where features are optional extensions that can be built with a coding agent and shared in a registry.

VSCode was my daily driver for years, but once I started running several coding agents across multiple projects at the same time, it got in the way. One workspace with terminals in the bottom tray, no idea which agent was doing what and I found myself needing all the code editing tools less and less. So I built my own IDE around that workflow. Terminals are a first-class citizen, every project stays alive in the background with visual statuses. Close the workspace and come back weeks later, everything is still in its place. I've been using it for weeks and it's a big productivity boost. The idea is a super tight core with a robust extension SDK. Features are built as extensions and are optional. Extensions can easily be built with a coding agent and shared in a registry. All open source. There's many great TUI apps that have similar features, but this is built for someone that loves VSCode.
