A C/C++ Windows IDE with integrated Debugger built from scratch in C99

Original Text
I’ve spent the last ~2 years building a C/C++ IDE for Windows entirely in C99. My goal was to eliminate the bloat of the modern Visual Studio environment keeping its core features.
Key Technical Highlights:
Zero Dependencies: Just the Windows API
Performance: Starts in 0.1ms on a twelve year old machine. It handles projects with 500k+ lines without UI lag or indexing stutters.
Integrated Tools: Includes a custom-built debugger, profiler, and Intellisense engine designed for speed.
Portability: It’s a single executable. No installer required.
I built this because I was tired of waiting 10 seconds for Visual Studio to "wake up" and seeing my RAM disappear just to boot it up. It’s currently hosted on itch.io while I gather funds to set up a dedicated site.
