Hello Product Hunt! 🚀 Building the next-gen AI IDE with ArcIDE

Hey Product Hunt! 👋

I'm the maker behind ArcIDE — and today I'm excited to share something I've been building for the past year.

The Problem: Every AI code editor out there follows the same pattern: you type, it suggests, you accept. But real software development isn't about writing individual lines — it's about orchestrating entire workflows. Creating files, managing dependencies, debugging errors, testing in the browser. That loop is what eats your time, not the typing.

The Solution: ArcIDE is a desktop-native, agentic AI code editor built on Rust (Tauri). Instead of just suggesting code, it operates as an autonomous software engineer sitting next to you:

→ Agentic Workflow: Describe what you need. ArcIDE creates the files, opens the terminal, installs packages, runs builds, catches errors, fixes them, and iterates — all without you lifting a finger.

→ Omni-Model Architecture: Not locked into one provider. Switch between Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, and local Ollama models in a single click. Use the right brain for the right task.

→ Antigravity Logs: Full transparency into what the agent is doing. Every file read, every edit, every command — displayed in a clean, real-time professional log feed. No black boxes.

→ Local-First & Secure: Your code never leaves your machine unless you explicitly interact with the AI. Built on Tauri/Rust for native performance without the Electron bloat.

→ Smart Context Engine: Automatic conversation trimming ensures you never hit token limits or payload errors, even in marathon coding sessions.

Where we're headed: This is just the beginning. We're actively building plugin support, collaborative features, and deeper IDE integrations. Your feedback will directly shape the roadmap.

Exclusive for the PH community: As a thank you for being early supporters, use code PH2026 at checkout for 20% off any Pro plan. This offer is available for 30 days only — after that, it's gone for good.

I'll be here all day answering questions and collecting feedback. Don't hesitate to reach out — every comment matters to us.

Let's redefine what an IDE can do. 🚀
