WIP: "Pointer" – a local-first, AI-powered code editor

Hi HN,

I’m Das_F1sHy312 and currently building something called Pointer – a privacy-focused, offline-first code editor that integrates locally running LLMs for suggestions, completions, and refactoring.

The idea is simple: bring the power of tools like Cursor or Codeium to your own machine — no cloud, no API keys, no tracking, and 100% open-source.

Current focus areas:

- Seamless integration with local LLMs via Ollama or LM Studio

- Designing the Agent with all possible tools

- Minimalist UI - btw not a VSCode fork

- Embedded inline buttons for common tasks (e.g. refactor, explain, fix)

- Designed to be fast, simple, and distraction-free

It’s still early — no stable release yet — but development is active and public.

GitHub: https://github.com/f1shyondrugs/pointer

Landing page: https://pointr.sh

Discord: ^^

Would love to get thoughts, early feedback, or help shaping the direction.
