TRUST: A Retro Blue-Screen TUI IDE for Rust Programming
By

Warm and crisp on the edges. A bagel with a bit of bite.
Summary
TRUST is an experimental, retro-styled TUI (Text User Interface) IDE for Rust programming, designed to mimic classic blue-screen DOS development environments from the late 1980s. It allows users to edit files, browse Rust projects, and run Cargo commands. The project is described as a nostalgia-driven endeavor, currently in experimental status, with features like file saving (F2/Ctrl+S), dirty buffer indicators, and the ability to build itself.
