Show HN: Zzz – IDE for Kotlin mobile development on Windows

1 manuelcabanzo 0 7/15/2025, 1:26:14 PM s0mbra.com ↗

My mobile app experience with Kotlin was overwhelming and slow, so I decided to build something better from scratch.

The result? An IDE written from the ground up for mobile developers who want something faster, leaner, and more focused. It's not a wrapper, plugin collection, or fork — it's built specifically to prioritize performance and simplicity.

RAM usage stays between 200MB-1.2GB, even on resource-heavy tasks. Fast startup (boots in seconds, not minutes), minimal lag, and no distractions. More resources for your code, less waiting around.

The setup includes everything needed to code and test mobile apps, with one-time configuration to run builds directly on your physical Android device — no emulator overhead or workarounds.

It's built for Kotlin apps on Windows and designed to stay out of your way. Every feature is mobile-first, every decision aimed at making your development loop faster and more focused.
