## Why Choose Rocket?
### ⚡ Blazing Fast
Rocket is built for speed. It’s like a coding cheetah on a caffeine high. You’ll never have to deal with annoying lags again.
### 🪶 Light as a Feather
Rocket is tiny compared to most code editors. It’s designed to be as lightweight as possible, so it won’t gobble up your system resources. More room for your other important stuff! (Made in Tauri instead of Electron)
### 🔧 Just the Essentials
Rocket focuses on giving you the basics without the bloat:
- **Syntax Highlighting**: Supports lots of programming languages.
- **Code Autocompletion**: Helps you write code faster with smart suggestions.
- **Clean Interface**: A minimalist design that keeps you focused on your code.
- **No Learning Curve**: Using Monaco editor under the hood, which is the core of the VSCode.
### 🎨 Modern and Sleek
Rocket's interface is modern and sleek, making your coding sessions a visual treat. It’s designed to be easy on the eyes and boost your productivity.
### 🌍 Made for macOS
Rocket is built to work seamlessly on `macOS` with `Apple Silicon` and `Intel`. No fuss, no muss—just smooth coding on your favorite platform.
## The Trade-Offs
We love Rocket, but let's be real. it’s not perfect. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- **No Extension Support**: What you see is what you get. No add-ons here due to [limitations on monaco editor](https://github.com/Microsoft/monaco-editor/issues/430#issuecomment-306870048).
- **Limited Formatting Options**: Necessary tools only, but they get the job done.
- **Minimal Debugging Tools**: Simple and straightforward, but not fancy.
- **No Integrated Terminal**: You’ll need to use an external terminal for your command-line tasks.
> You don't have to create a new terminal, click on Terminal button to open it from your project directory.
## Installation
Ready to get started? Here’s how to install Rocket on your Mac:
1. Download the DMG file from [Github](https://github.com/Rahuletto/rocket/releases).
2. Open the DMG file and drag Rocket to your Applications folder.
3. Launch Rocket and get ready to code!
“Rocket” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.
### Are you seeing a prompt like this?
This is expected as I didn't sign the application using Apple Developer ID
> In short, Apple wants me to pay a fee to remove that prompt + publish to App Store
This will prompt only once after installation. We can override this by opening
- `System Settings` > `Privacy & Security`
- Scroll down
- Click `Open Anyway`
- Click `Open`, don't worry. This is an open source project. It will not harm your mac or compromise your privacy.
