GPU-rendered

Every pixel drawn with wgpu — smooth scrolling and crisp text at any zoom.

VSCode-familiar

Explorer, tabs, command palette, search, source control, integrated terminal.

Stage, commit, diff side-by-side, and a change-count badge — no extension needed.

Self-updating

Checks GitHub for new releases and updates itself in place.
