This is amazing. I think that the binary itself is just 980kb, which is such a fresh breath of air. I think that I am fairly impressed by the project!
Some few features that I would love to have for myself is if it can support remote development similar to zed[0] using ssh
and if possibly, LSP support can be added.
I also think that this project can be used as the base support for many things and not just an editor as initial inspiration (sort of as a way to bootstrap a way to create extremely minimalist applications with themes and everything!)
I wish luck to the project and I might even start to daily drive it, there are many ideas that I can think of which I wish to add on top of it (I wish to create a scratch-pad app which can automatically save the files and I wouldn't have to prompt it), I had built it in Odin[1] but I feel like writing it on top of rhun might be easier as well
or a markdown editor similar to a more barebones version of obsidian/notion also come to my mind (If you are interested, please, do create something like this. QTmarkdown is one of the more minimalist things that I use but nearly all of these aren't really as minimalist as I would want them to and I think that rhun can help in it.)
Thanks once again and have a nice day! Man, do I love hackernews for these type of creative projects :-D
I use Zed (https://zed.dev) as my agent harness and either the $20 ChatGPT sub + Sol for personal/independent projects or an enterprise Claude account for sponsored/paid work. From the stats for my current work I use about $400/mo in tokens and a lot of that is non-coding work like pruning JIRA, managing business documentation, making dashboards - so my true coding agent cost is significantly less.
It's pretty simple, you could probably set up something like that by:
Configure some kind of CLI tool to talk to your ticketing system and git repo so you can programmatically interact with them. If you don't have a ticketing system, instruct the agent to use local text or markdown files to track issues and progress.
Ideally, make your code runnable in a way the agent can use. For my webapps I build a test harness so that I can run all the endpoints and workflows via reproducible tests against an embedded database. This is easier than it sounds, e.g. there are libraries out there to embed PostgreSQL or SQLite into source code, you can set up a test harness so you can run unit tests, integration tests and workflow tests that use your real frontend, server and database.
Paste this comment thread into the agent prompt and tell it to run a similar loop on your code base: a session that searches for vulns and writes up a report, some way for a human to do a review pass on the report, a session that indexes the reviewed findings into tickets, and sessions that fix the fixable issues and submit patches to your repo. The next search session should first read all the open issues so it doesn't duplicate work of earlier sessions.
LESS IS MORE - avoid fancy agent tooling and skills, don't cargo cult from others, build your own tools as you find your own needs. If something can be automated, use the agent to write tools and tests for it, don't just keep prodding the agent to do it.
This seems like a worthwhile listen. As it stands I think that LLMs sort of suck at this. Either that or I don't understand what analogous thinking is or people who use LLMs to facilitate this kind of thinking are bad at it too.
But I think that LLMs are bad at something that has to do with taking seemingly disparate concepts and assimilating one into the other to convey a novel idea.

I'm surprised how clear they are about this.

Can highly recommend Zed as an alternative, it's better than VSCode with the Codex extension as managing multiple chats is much nicer in Zed.
I am not talking about GLM models being served through an Anthropic compatible API, that part is perfectly fine and I'm glad they support it!
I am talking about ZCode, the program, being unable to delegate to other harnesses, like using Claude Code (or even OpenCode) within their UI, so that an Anthropic subscription can be used, because Anthropic don't let you use 3rd party harnesses directly.
ZCode doesn't seem to work at that level, it instead feels comparable to OpenCode or Codex or Claude Code directly, while also being desktop oriented - you just make API calls directly within it.
It's okay if it's not a goal of theirs, it's just that their UI is really really nice and that would be a cool direction for them to also go in some day.
