No this is not a fork, I built it from scratch. It is not intended to be used with vscode extensions. Its an Electron app. Desktop Framework

  - Electron - Desktop app with
  main/renderer process
  architecture
  - TypeScript - Primary language
  (strict mode)

  Frontend/UI

  - Monaco Editor - VS Code-style
  code editing
  - HTML/CSS - UI rendering
  - WebSockets - Real-time
  communication with backend

  Backend Services

  - Node.js - Runtime
  - Express - Memory Service API
  server
  - SQLite - Local database for
  memory persistence
  - Cloudflare D1 - Remote sync for
   memory backup

Hey there, actually I started using Tauri, but eventually ran into performance issues and found Electron more mature, easier to achieve at least for me.
