Hi! so i built an IDE for the Julia programming language, since i saw there arent really any Julia IDEs out there, its based on tauri (react and rust), its still in alpha, so expect some bugs and issues.  
JulIDE features a code editor based on Monaco, LSP based on LanguageServer.jl, a debugger, a git panel and integrations with pluto.jl and revise.jl  
github: [GitHub - sinisterMage/JulIde · GitHub](https://github.com/sinisterMage/JulIde)  
i would greatly appreciate feedback!

An IDE is an ambitious project!

…but I’d recommend putting more effort into it before announcing it.

Also, it’s best to [avoid using Julia in your package name or prefixing it with Ju](https://pkgdocs.julialang.org/v1/creating-packages/#Package-naming-rules).

Took it out for a test drive. Sweet.

Easy to install. Familiar layout. Clean design, with less is more. Gone are all the features for a zillion other languages and gone are the endless configurable options. Tastes great, less filling.

Do you consider VSCode to be just a text editor?

VSCode can be both an IDE and a code editor, just depends on how its configured, when I said I didn’t see any other Julia IDEs, I meant dedicated ones, sorry for the confusion

Haven’t run into anything I’d call a bug. When I said that the paring down of settings to a set of sensible defaults it was based on my first reaction—where’s SHIFT ENTER to send a block for execution. Muscle memory was screaming. But on thinking it over, I’m still highlighting a block, right? And there’s no shortage keyboard macros to click run, and maybe a little slowdown is going to make me think more about things before letting rip. I did get the one benign warning about `breakpoints`

```julia-auto
warning: field `breakpoints` is never read
  --> src/debugger.rs:39:5
   |
37 | struct DebugSession {
   | ------------ field in this struct
38 | stdin: Box<dyn Write + Send>,
39 | breakpoints: Vec<Breakpoint>,
   | ^^^^^^^^^^^
   |
   = note: `#[warn(dead_code)]` (part of `#[warn(unused)]`) on by default

warning: `julide` (lib) generated 1 warning
    Finished `dev` profile [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 4.12s
     Running `target/debug/julide`
warning: field `breakpoints` is never read

```

All in all, I expect to be doing new stuff in it and will let you know should I see anything I think you should know.

Cool project, really appreciate the effort you’ve put into it!

I’m running into a **“Julia not found”** error, even though I’ve installed Julia 1.12 via Juliaup on Windows 11.  
Also, I’m seeing the Tauri icon instead of the app’s intended icon. Does the app currently have its own icon, or is this expected?  
Adding some screenshots to the README would be really helpful as well.
