mIDE v0.4.0

mIDE 0.4.0

A minimal editor for learning web programming by writing code manually, without autocomplete or AI.

Changes

• Move files and folders by dragging in Explorer, with a visible drag preview. Import external files by dropping them into the project.
• Copy relative or absolute paths and move items using the keyboard-accessible Move to… dialog. Open tabs and unsaved edits follow moves.
• Read-only image tabs, image metadata, source-path hover previews and small gutter thumbnails, including icons.
• Offline HTML and CSS hover documentation with direct MDN links and independent settings.
• Searchable offline troubleshooting guides in Sources.
• Recently opened projects on the start page.
• Auto Save when leaving the editor or switching apps, enabled by default and configurable in Settings.
• Ctrl+Alt+S opens or closes Sources.

Download and run

Download the .AppImage asset below for Linux x86_64 (Intel/AMD). Allow execution in your file manager's properties, then open it. No system installation is required.

From a terminal in the download directory:

chmod +x ./mIDE_*.AppImage
./mIDE_*.AppImage

SHA256SUMS contains the download's SHA-256 checksum. With both files in the same directory, verify using sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.

Compatibility and known requirements

• Manual testing has been performed only on Arch Linux / Omarchy. Other Linux distributions have not been manually verified. No Windows or macOS downloads are provided.
• The AppImage is built on Ubuntu 22.04 for a broader compatibility baseline; this does not establish that every distribution is supported.
• Some systems need FUSE support. See the AppImage troubleshooting guide.
• Format Document requires Node.js 22.12+ on the application's PATH (Node 24 LTS recommended). Node.js is not bundled. Editing and the integrated terminal do not require it.
• Auto Save writes changed open files when focus leaves the editor. Disable it under Settings → Saving if you prefer explicit saves.
