What is XTide86?
XTide86 is a custom terminal IDE I built around Neovim, tmux, and live Python/C++ environments. It’s fast, minimal, and built for developers who want everything under one hood without losing the Unix feel.
Why I Built It
I wanted to build an environment to teach my kids primarily bash but also Python programming. I designed it to be intuitive and fun while also retaining the powerful features found in Neovim. It includes many custom functions for creating a grid with \f and \g and quick paste to live interpreters for Pyton and C/C++ with TermiC (experimental works best with lambda functions) With a background in fine arts, the goal was to make programming feel intuitive, powerful, and elegant.
Features
- Preconfigured tmux layout with live shell & Python/C++
- Neovim setup with NERDTree, surround, commentary, and more
- Ergonomic bash scripts and hotkeys to make it feel seamless
- Easily hackable and extendable
