I rebuilt the only parts of my IDE I use, in Rust, over a weekend

AI Summary
A developer, frustrated with the bloat of full IDEs for simple git tasks, built Kyde, a native macOS tool over a weekend that serves only as a dedicated commit and diff editor. It’s for programmers who want a lightweight, fast alternative to heavy IDEs for version control. The project is interesting because it proves that a focused, minimal tool written in Rust can replace 90% of an IDE’s daily use.
