Thanks! Glad it’s working well on macOS. For pi-agent support, do you mean showing its sessions in the Agents panel, or something else?
Thanks for the suggestion! I created a poll for this feature: https://github.com/vshvedov/rhun/discussions/23
Working on the polishing phase. Thanks for trying it out! Is there anything specific I should look into?
Thank you, yeah, the translator is a tricky part.
It's not and I probably don't have one. Initial motivation was enjoyment, learning, some flex and the challenge. Not the performance.
Thank you very much. Great ideas. LSP support was (and likely still is) planned via a plugin system, which is already a part of rhun. I'm trying to be really careful with feature creep and load time, so I postponed some features to stabilize the codebase and gather user feedback first.
Btw if you're interested, you can browse https://kolibrios.org/en code (https://github.com/KolibriOS) for a more complex codebase. Not my project, but it's a quite mature assembly repo.
I would recommend RV32I. I personally started with Z80's, but that's something too esoteric for 2026. Thanks for giving rhun a try!
Thank you. Yes, LSP support would be awesome as a plugin.
Thank you for trying rhun. Never used Pi before - I'll definitely take a look to see if it fits the idea.
Rhun also has a Geminispace page in my capsule. Hopefully, this works for you: gemini://r13.xyz/rhun/

It's very difficult to call Sublime minimal, but for years that was my go to as well. rhun is OSS, no telemetry, free and is lacking dozens of "normal code editor" features compared to Sublime. Which is kinda the point. nano+ with GUI.
There are some good numbers in comments to respond the question. Think of rhun as of anti-vscode: feature-poor, configuration-lacking, but small and fast :-)
Thank you. Windows definitely needs a slightly better autoupdate system which is coming in the next major release.
I'm still thinking should I make it bidirectional. Wdyt?
Thanks for noticing :-)
The plan is to add as less new features as possible and keep the same performance/launch time/memory and disk footprint as it is currently.

Show HN: Rhun, an open-source code editor written in assembly

https://rhun.app/

I found that I'm not using even 1/3 of vim/vscode features anymore.That's wht I'm building rhun - a small code editor for Linux, Windows and Apple silicon Macs. It obviously has Vim mode, a terminal, Git diffs and a panel for Claude Code or Codex sessions.The editor and pixel renderer share an x86-64 assembly core. For Apple silicon, a build-time translator converts that core to AArch64, with...

The idea of Neuz is simple: ask Claude to interview you about your interests to get a prompt that you run as a scheduled routine to generate a custom news feed. Then Claude pushes the JSON to the Neuz dashboard, which you can host privately on a VPS, homelab, your laptop, or RPi. Make it available only locally, on your network, or share it on the Internet.

The interview part is organized via the AskUserQuestion Claude tool; the resulting prompt can be fine-tuned and extended manually as you go. You can use a local or cloud Claude routine, or even with an open-weight model if it supports web search and scheduled tasks.

The approach changed my view on agentic software development and probably the best thing I discovered this year.

Re:Apple restricts Pebble from being awesome with iPhones on Tuesday March 18, 2025 @01:52PM (#43402448)
I completely get the point, and it's a shame. Apple is bad because it doesn't clearly announce this kind of limitation for third-party hardware and software before selling their phones. And I don't think Pebble or Garmin will either. Why not just limit your market to a platform that fits well? That would be the fairest solution for a customer.

Thank you for sharing the book, Brett! I definitely need to revisit the SDK which I had from its early versions, but unfortunately it was always lacking something. That was years ago tho.

I would (and will) avoid anything like this by any cost.
