Astro Hacker News - Bb: The IDE that builds itself

Cute and clever gimmick, which is more than I can say about most AI-related software churned out these days.

ultimately it's clear that agent generated UIs for customised development environments is the future and this feels like a great idea.

with that being said: i wish there was a documentation or a list of supported features. is this a text editor? how customizable is it? does it support vim bindings? does it have terminal emulators? i would want to be able to answer these questions before downloading it

You can ask it to add it if it doesn't have it yet.

Thanks, I already have Emacs.

Coding agents have been been such a blessing for my Emacs setup. Only getting more psyched about emacs. It was pretty good before but my elisp skills never really advanced much beyond gluing together existing libraries and copy pasted snippets. Now I'm having a blast vibecoding tools I could only dream of before, beyond what I even knew was possible.

So T3 code but self customizable?

This isn't an IDE, words do mean things

Interesting that the phrase “words do mean things” is ambiguous: it either means “words actually have meaning” or “words can hurt peoples’ feelings.”
