Question 1

Is nyxIDE the same as VS Code?

Accepted Answer

It uses Monaco — the same editor engine that powers VS Code — but it's a separate, browser-only application. There are no extensions, no language servers, and no terminal; the focus is editing, formatting, and running JavaScript in a sandbox.

Question 2

Where do files open from inside NyxOS?

Accepted Answer

Inside NyxOS, nyxIDE opens and saves through the NyxOS filesystem, scoped to the logged-in user. The computer disk picker is only available when nyxIDE is opened standalone.

Question 3

Does git really work?

Accepted Answer

There is git integration scoped to the workspace; it surfaces diffs, dirty state, and basic operations against a project. It's not a full git client and does not push/pull from remotes.

Question 4

What languages and formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

Syntax highlighting works for JavaScript, TypeScript, JSON, Markdown, CSS, HTML, Python, Shell, YAML, C/C++, Java, Go, and Rust. Prettier formats JS, TS, JSON, CSS, HTML, and Markdown. The sandboxed runner only executes JavaScript.
