Tired of paying for RubyMine, Sachin built Garnet, a free open-source Ruby & Rails IDE
Another paid seat falls to the horde. Sachin got tired of paying for RubyMine, so they built their own: Garnet, a free, open-source Ruby and Rails IDE for macOS. It's written in Rust with Tauri, launches in about a second and uses around 130 MB of RAM. No account, no subscription, no telemetry. For a JetBrains IDE that's a direct shot at the licence fee, and the code is out in the open for any Rails developer who wants to stop paying rent on their editor.
