Show HN: Open-source protein and ligand viewer

3 the__alchemist 0 5/23/2025, 1:56:36 PM github.com ↗

I just published an open-source protein and ligand viewer. Goal: fast and easy-to-use. Long-term: It's a platform for docking and molecular dynamics. The basic functionality for viewing and inspecting work. I'm currently working on Coot-like electron-density viewing.

I'm gradually splitting it into standalone libs, published to crates.io. Some are up already, others are integrated, and will be split off when sufficiently mature and decoupled.

Uses parallel execution when able, through thread pools (Rayon), CPU SIMD and Cuda.

The default control scheme is non-standard, unless you play video games...

Any feedback and critique appreciated!
