We benchmarked our own VS Code fork against VS Code, Cursor and Antigravity.
We start in 497 ms, which is 200 ms ahead of VS Code, about a second ahead of Antigravity and nearly two ahead of Cursor. We hold less memory than all three with a repo open.
We also put Zed in the batch. It starts about 2.8 times faster than us and holds less than an eighth of the memory. It makes sense why everyone is going crazy about GPUI. Zed was built to be GPU rendered from the start, and that is unfortunately exactly where Electron apps fall behind.
We would like to be a lot closer to what a native editor like Zed feels like. Most of what we have shipped so far optimization wise is careful use of what Electron and V8 already offer, and we think there is more of that left. Further out, forking Electron itself to strip it down to what an editor actually needs is something we would like to explore. We have not started that work, but it could be worth far more than the milliseconds in this post and hopefully cut the launch time and the memory usage further.

The worst thing a software developer can do in their career is not listen to feedback from their users, QA team, or their peers.
This is something you learn as a dev over time, and when you do, it changes how you view your own work.
While working on Hyperlane, we have been continuously listening to feedback from our users, from adding new features to updating our UI. The next release fixes a lot of the bugs our users reported, ships the UI changes they asked for, and adds the overall polish we didn't have at launch.
It's been 39 days since we released Hyperlane to build the best IDE with a built in worktree based interaction system, tab and window isolation per worktree, a native git client with a live graph, in-editor pull requests, a three-way conflict editor with per-worktree blame and diff, tiled editors and terminals so multiple agents stay visible at once, a native Ghostty terminal, VS Code extension support, support for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini and any CLI or ACP agent, and {more_features_here}. We're looking forward to what comes next.
The second worst thing a software engineer can do is leak their .env file.

Most IDEs back one Git host and leave the rest to a plugin, config token, or a browser tab.
Hyperlane supports GitHub, GitLab, and Codeberg natively. Wherever your code lives, Hyperlane supports it.

One problem we had with other editors and orchestration apps was that you were unable to create / add custom agents / tui tools to use in the editor.
Recently when we have released our IDE, built to orchestrate your existing Claude Code, Codex, Kimi Code subscriptions, we also made sure to add the ability to add custom agents / tui tools so you can use the latest software in the biz.
We have also built in many great tools like website design mode to make visual changes to your website interactively, issues & pull requests directly in the editor, native ghostty support and usage tracking to see how much you are spending on agents.
Hyperlane is built to ship reviewable changes fast with built-in tooling to debug and profile your projects, and worktrees for multitasking and isolation.
All of this comes with Hyperlane, the IDE for parallel agents even with your custom ones.
#buildinpublic #code #ai
The tooling split is backwards. Orchestrators understand worktrees but cannot edit code. Editors handle code but treat worktrees as an afterthought.
Hyperlane is the IDE for parallel agents. Built on the VS Code source, so your keybindings and settings all come with you.
The worst part of using worktrees for agentic coding is not being able to see how much space they are eating up or keep track of them. In Hyperlane 2026.08.4 we built a new storage usage page so you can see your drive usage at a glance, broken down by every worktree and project.
Check out Hyperlane 2026.08.4 on macOS, Windows and Linux.
Checkout Hyperlane! We are a IDE and ADE in one, built to orchestrate your existing Claude Code, & Codex subscriptions in one. If you are a user of VS Code you will feel right at home as Hyperlane is a fork of VS Code so you won't have to re-learn everything! https://t.co/gTf4fDPkd8
@TonyXavier_ We would love your feedback on our one! We are a IDE / ADE thats forked off VS Code so you don't have to re learn everything! https://t.co/D2tDcMAGX4

Hi HN! Welcome to X!
Something that caught our eye lately is Hyperlane, though we are admittedly biased since we are the ones building it.
The thing we kept running into is that agent orchestration tools handle worktrees well, but they stop at the worktree. You still leave to go write the code, debug it and profile it somewhere else in a proper IDE especially in teams for code quality and testing purposes. Hyperlane is a full IDE with worktree isolation built right in. It is a fork of VS Code, so its ecosystem and the powerful code editor of it carries over, and on top of that we built and added native in editor testing, a JS & React profiler, a debugger and more IDE features.
It is available on macOS, Windows and Linux, and it is faster than VS Code, Cursor and Antigravity on our benchmarks and we have published the numbers on our blog along with our benchmark source.
Hope it catches your eye too. https://t.co/VkRA3CRFuR
Today we are launching the first Alpha version of Hyperlane.
