Show HN: Sloppie – Agentic development environment for Linux (github.com)
Hi! In my own development work I have noticed I less and less reach for Emacs and rather need the combo of a coding agent + git diff viewer + a stack of code-review comments to handle later.
There's a lot of apps that do more or less that but mostly for Mac, heavy churn and too much features I don't need, arranged in a way that makes for a noisy and distracting interface.
So, I wrote my own. Not as a throw-away project but one to actually use daily. It's tailored for my own needs and probably not useful as-is for others, but maybe something for inspiration or customization.

Fonts and editor are pretty much about this part of the README:
> Sloppie is hard-coded to its author's preferences and not generic or configurable. If you like the concept and want to use Sloppie, instead of installing and using it directly, you'd likely want to clone the repository, ask a coding agent to customize the font, colors, editor etc. to your preferences and use that clone instead.
The UI fonts should have fallbacks, but the terminal doesn't.
Regarding the editor, note that it's also launched with line or line + column arguments and against the directory if no file selected — all of which work in Emacs, but not in all editors.
Give it a try! The main mechanics is coding agent + git, which should just work.
