Show HN: I rebuilt the only parts of my IDE I use, in Rust, over a weekend I don't know Rust.

Friday after work I realised that 90% of my IDE time now is just the commit/diff view — and even good IDEs feel heavy for that.

So over the weekend I built a dedicated native tool for just that. Kyde is a macOS git commit + diff editor with one goal: be fast, do Git well.

I'm curious whether anyone else mostly opens their IDE for git operations these days.

It's open source, and there's a signed app in Releases.
