SummaryA solo developer released Rhun, a minimalist code editor written in x86-64 assembly with a build-time translator for Apple silicon. It supports Linux, Windows, and Apple silicon Macs, includes Vim mode, terminal, Git diffs, a panel for Claude Code or Codex sessions, and can draft commit messages via local Ollama or existing AI subscriptions. MIT licensed, early stage.
Why it mattersAn assembly-core editor with a build-time AArch64 translator is unusual; the Claude/Codex panel and Ollama-backed commit drafting are concrete patterns builders can study in source.
