A Fast, Native Markdown Editor.
No Electron. No web views. Just native code that launches in milliseconds and sips memory while you write.
A fast, lightweight text editor for Markdown, JSON, YAML, and TOML files. Built with Rust and egui for a native, responsive experience.
The open-source workspace where humans and AI agents work as one team.
Hire an AI teammate. Give it a responsibility. Teach it how your team works. It learns on the job and builds the tools it needs along the way.
Lemma is that harness for a team. State is shared and permissioned, so many people and many agents work the same records. It keeps running between sessions, on schedules, webhooks, and table events. And it compounds: corrections become standing instructions, sequences become workflows, judgment becomes an agent role. The harness your team uses next month is better than the one you ship today, because using it is what improved it.
