About microide

A native, low-footprint C++/SDL3 desktop IDE focused on editor, diff, merge, git, search, terminal, and debugging workflows. Open source, private, no telemetry. Built for responsiveness on commodity hardware: it runs on a software renderer and uses the GPU only to speed up text when one is present. Hot paths, startup, typing, scrolling, diff, and search, are guarded by an automated performance harness with committed baselines, so regressions fail the build instead of shipping.

About TermRover

TermRover is a native SSH + Mosh terminal optimized for working with tmux on iPhone and Android. Browser-style tabs, one-tap prefix actions, and scrolling all just work. The tmux prefix, usually Ctrl-b, is awkward on a touchscreen. Scrolling is worse: it usually requires mouse mode and changes to .tmux.conf, with no clear indication whether it is enabled., tapping the terminal should open the keyboard, and sending a screenshot to a coding agent. It immediately made sense for a phone: SSH can drop as you move between networks, while Mosh keeps the terminal working.
