novercode

The missing link between IDEs and terminal workflows.

novercode is a vibe-coding environment for engineers who live in the terminal. It's not an IDE — it's a workflow layer that sits between you and your code, handling the boring stuff so you can stay in flow.

What It Is

• Project Hub — Manage multiple Git repos from one place
• Task Engine — Each task gets its own isolated copy
• AI Terminal — Built-in Claude shell, no context switching
• Diff Viewer — Side-by-side code review with Monaco

What It's Not

• Not a code editor (use your favorite)
• Not a full IDE (no bloated features you won't use)
• Not a web app (native speed, offline-first)

Quick Start

# Clone
git clone https://github.com/noverwork/novercode.git
cd novercode

# Install
npm install

# Dev
npm run tauri dev

# Build
npm run tauri build

How It Works

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  PROJECT              │  TASK               │  AI TERM     │
│  ───────────────────  │  ─────────────────  │  ─────────   │
│  ┌─────────────────┐  │  ┌────────────────┐ │  $ claude    │
│  │ my-app          │  │  │ fix auth bug   │ │  > help me   │
│  │ api-server      │  │  │ add dark mode  │ │  > review    │
│  │ frontend        │  │  │ refactor db    │ │  > commit    │
│  └─────────────────┘  │  └────────────────┘ │              │
│                       │                    │  [assistant] │
│  [New Project]        │  [New Task]         │              │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

1. Add Projects → Point to any Git repo on your machine 2. Create Tasks → Each task spawns an isolated copy 3. Code → Use your editor (VS Code, Neovim, whatever) 4. Ask AI → Built-in Claude shell for assistance 5. Done → Task copy auto-cleans when task closes

The Vibe

• Terminal aesthetic that doesn't pretend to be a GUI
• Monospace everything
• CRT scanlines because why not
• Keyboard-first, mouse-optional
• Works offline

Tech Stack

Layer	Tech
Frontend	React 19 + TypeScript + Vite
Styling	Tailwind CSS v4 + shadcn/ui
Backend	Rust + Tauri
Terminal	Alacritty emulation engine
Editor	Monaco (diff viewer)
Storage	Tauri store plugin

Why Task Copies?

project/
├── main/          # Your main branch
├── task-001/      # Isolated copy for task 1
├── task-002/      # Isolated copy for task 2
└── task-003/      # Isolated copy for task 3

Each task gets its own sandbox. Context switching without git stash hell. Hot-swap between tasks instantly.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Key	Action
Cmd/Ctrl + N	New task
Cmd/Ctrl + Enter	Open in editor
Cmd/Ctrl + K	Focus AI terminal
Cmd/Ctrl + D	Toggle diff view
