About

Pointer is the AI code editor for developers who want the speed and visual comfort of a modern IDE, the autonomy of an advanced coding agent, and complete freedom over their models, data, and costs. This is not another VSCODE fork its built with rust and the monaco editor to maintain similarity with what developers already use.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
