💻Toast Terminal Dev Env Ships With LSPs and Themes
A Terminal Dev Env That's Ready to Go
TL;DR
Toast, a new terminal-based developer environment, ships with managed LSPs, an integrated file tree, and themes out of the box. It's designed for developers who want a terminal setup without the hassle.
Toast, a new terminal-based developer environment, is now available. It ships with managed Language Server Protocol (LSP) support, an integrated file tree, multiple file tabs, and themes. This makes it a breeze for developers to set up a robust development environment directly in their terminal without the usual setup time. If you're tired of configuring your terminal for hours, Toast is a game changer. It's available via Homebrew (`brew install paradise-runner/tap/toast`) and as a standalone macOS app from the releases page. The TUI (Terminal User Interface) is the primary and best-tested way to run Toast, though the desktop app is also available and experimental.
Key Points
Toast can be installed via Homebrew on macOS with `brew install paradise-runner/tap/toast`.
The standalone macOS app can be downloaded from the releases page and installed by unzipping the zip file and placing the binary on $PATH.
Toast offers a TUI as the primary and best-tested way to run the environment.
The desktop app includes a native menu bar and dock icon, though it's experimental and has more bugs than the TUI.
Toast supports building from source using Go 1.25.2+ with `make build`, writing the binary to `bin/toast`.
Why It Matters
If you're a developer who spends hours setting up your terminal environment, Toast flips the script. It offers managed LSPs, an integrated file tree, and themes out of the box, making it a breeze to get started. The TUI is the most stable option, but the desktop app is also available for those who prefer a more traditional setup. However, the desktop app is still experimental and comes with more bugs, so stick to the TUI for now.
