Summary
Kyde is a fast native commit and diff code editor built as a Git client for macOS, designed for developers who primarily work in commit and diff views rather than full IDEs. Built in Rust, it achieves ~120fps scrolling even on large files like a 37k-line package-lock.json through viewport virtualization and off-thread highlighting. The project is open-source on GitHub, with Windows and Linux builds commented out due to the developer's inability to actively QA those platforms.

These days I barely open my full IDE — pre-AI I was doing thousands of commits a year, and now I mostly live in its commit and diff view, one of the few things heavy enough to make me wait for a JVM to start.
