Clide - Your Friendly Terminal IDE

by•
CLIDE is a terminal-based IDE built for developers who work directly on remote servers over SSH. Sometimes you're already SSH'd into a server and just need to fix something: change a Django setting, edit a `.env` file, patch a configuration, search through a project, or make a quick code change. That's where Nano and Vim can start to feel limiting. CLIDE brings an IDE-like workflow directly into your Terminal and works over SSH too.

Why I built CLIDE I spend a lot of time working on remote servers over SSH. And sooner or later, I'd need to make a small change directly on the server - edit some code, modify an `.env` file, search for something across the project, or jump between a few different files. The usual options were Nano or Vim. They're great editors, but they never really gave me the workflow I wanted for this particular situation. I wanted something closer to an IDE: a file explorer, multiple open files, proper search, tabs, and a comfortable editing experience. I didn't want to set up a full remote development environment just to make a change on a VPS either. So I built CLIDE. It's a terminal-based IDE specifically for that awkward space between "I need to edit something" and "I need a whole remote development environment." If you regularly SSH into servers to work on code, I'd love to know what your current workflow looks like and what you'd want CLIDE to do next.
