Hey open source enthusiasts! We’re excited to share Huly Code, our open-source IDE based on IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition that prioritizes freedom, transparency, and modern development practices.
Our open source approach:
- Fully free: No paid tiers, no premium features, no strings attached
- Open core: Built on IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition
- No proprietary plugins: Replaced with open-source alternatives
- Open standards: Uses Language Server Protocol (LSP) for language support
- Open technologies: Tree-sitter for syntax highlighting, open-source language servers
- Source available: GitHub repository
Key features:
- Support for many modern languages (Rust, Go, TypeScript, JavaScript, Zig, and more)
- Advanced code navigation and completion capabilities
- AI coding assistants supported (GitHub Copilot, Supermaven)
- High-performance syntax highlighting and code analysis
- Familiar IntelliJ-based workflow for those who prefer it over VS Code
Why we built Huly Code
While there are excellent open-source editors based on VS Code, we wanted to provide an alternative based on IntelliJ’s architecture for developers who prefer that experience. We’ve removed proprietary components and replaced them with open-source alternatives to create a fully free experience that doesn’t compromise on quality.
We believe in giving back to the community - Huly Code is part of our research into development tools, but we’ve made it completely free for everyone to use, modify, and build upon.
