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
