Seeing spatial IDE's (where terminals and files are displayed on a canvas instead of a regular dock like vscode) more often right now on HN and Reddit. This is a selection of the ones I've seen. https://github.com/voicetreelab/voicetree https://github.com/AgentOrchestrator/AgentBase https://github.com/0-AI-UG/cate did anyone else notice something like it or try them out?

Been sharing progress on Cate here for a while. v1 is finally in a pretty solid state now: https://github.com/0-AI-UG/cate, https://cate.cero-ai.com Cate is an open source desktop workspace built around an infinite canvas. Instead of constantly switching between terminals, editors, browser previews, docs, and AI tools, you arrange everything spatially in one place. Big improvements since the earlier posts: docking, tabs, and splits detachable native OS windows git worktree support unified Cmd+K search much smoother rendering/performance on larger canvases AI provider + MCP integration Stack: Electron, React, Monaco, xterm.js/node-pty, Zustand. Runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux. MIT licensed. Would love feedback from people with heavy multi-window or terminal-based workflows.
