Hey devs, I recently wrapped the latest stable release of Tide42, a lightweight terminal-based IDE designed for speed, flexibility, and a clean coding experience — especially for those of us who live in the terminal.

Tide42 integrates tmux, nvim, and thoughtful Bash scripting into a seamless dev workflow with:

True 256-color support (color toggle with -c)

Elegant, fast session layout using tmux

Self-updating mechanism (--update) to pull the latest version from GitHub

Multi-distro install script for Debian, Arch, macOS (via apt, pacman, brew)

Respectful config handling – never overwrites your dotfiles

Simple interactive file launcher (tide42 <filename>)

Quiet mode for scripts (-q)
