Embedist

Embedist is what happens when someone actually uses the tools they're building for — an open-source IDE that understands your specific board instead of just spitting out generic firmware advice. The three-mode setup (Plan, Agent, Debug) is exactly how embedded developers actually work through problems, and building on PlatformIO means you get sane build tooling out of the box instead of reinventing the wheel. A solo founder shipped this in eight days, it's already got 56 users and nearly 80 upvotes on Product Hunt, and most importantly, it low-key solves a real problem that generic AI coding tools just don't touch. For firmware engineers tired of alt-tabbing between their IDE, serial monitor, and ChatGPT, this is the move.
