dot is a hyper-minimalistic, high-performance code editor built to not fry your RAM. Powered by Rust (Tauri) on the backend and Vanilla JavaScript (Monaco) on the front end, it delivers a native editing experience with zero bloat. This can never replace VS Code, it's purpose is to provide the basic VS Code interface for a person running too many background applications!

• 💻 Integrated Smart Terminal: Fully functional xterm.js terminal with resize support and direct shell integration.
• 🎨 Dynamic Themes: Switch instantly between 5+ pro themes (Cobalt2, Monokai, VS Dark, etc.).
