Existing or new
Import and control existing development projects or begin a new codebase from a prompt-driven workflow.
Lightweight native editor & IDE
VUTTARA CODE
Code without the heavyweight shell.
A Windows-first native code editor and IDE being built from scratch in Rust with GPUI, focused on a fast Vuttara-owned editor, workspace, language tooling, terminal, Git, and development workflow.
Core direction
Autonomy with guardrails.
The goal is not just code generation. Vuttara Code is being built around controlling the full development loop while keeping changes inspectable and recoverable.
Prompt-driven coding
Turn development goals into controlled file changes and repeatable project actions.
Build, test, debug
Use installed toolchains to compile, test, diagnose failures, and validate candidate changes.
Tool detection
Discover development software and toolchains already installed on the Windows system.
Git-aware checkpoints
Design workflows around checkpoints, diffs, validation, and recovery instead of uncontrolled mutation.
Windows first
Built specifically around Windows development workflows and the tools used by local projects.
New Development Direction
A lightweight native editor and IDE.
Vuttara Code has been restarted from scratch as a lightweight Visual Studio Code alternative for Windows. The new application is focused first on being a fast, resource-conscious code editor and IDE rather than an autonomous coding-agent application.
The new Vuttara Code is being developed primarily in Rust using GPUI for a native GPU-accelerated interface, without Electron, Monaco, or a WebView-based editor architecture.
The editor and workspace are being developed incrementally as Vuttara-owned components, with planned file and folder workspaces, tabs, editing, Tree-sitter syntax highlighting, and LSP language intelligence.
Planned development includes an integrated Windows terminal through ConPTY, Git integration, build and task tooling, debugging later through DAP, and a Vuttara-native extension system.
AI is optional, not the foundation.
AI assistance or an agent mode may be added later, but Vuttara Code is being built to remain a useful editor and IDE without requiring AI.
Current confirmed milestone · August 15, 2026
Vuttara Code 0.0.1 DEV7 FIX2.
The native Rust + GPUI editor has advanced well beyond the old DEV3 public status. DEV7 FIX2 is the current confirmed baseline.
Files + workspace
Native file/workspace foundation
Open File, Open Folder and Save As workflows plus workspace/open-tab persistence are part of the native editor line.
DEV7 FIX2
Native ConPTY terminal confirmed
Lazy startup, multiple terminal sessions/tabs, workspace-root working directory, input/output and Ctrl+C handling are working.
DEV8 FIX1
Functional but not promoted
Repository detection, branch/status and Source Control foundations run, but opening Source Control can temporarily lock the UI while Git status loads.
Windows first
Native IDE without Electron
Tree-sitter, LSP, Git, tasks, later DAP debugging and a Vuttara-native extension direction remain the broader roadmap.
Current baseline: DEV7 FIX2. DEV8 FIX1 remains a performance-failing candidate until Source Control responsiveness is repaired.
