Deep Dive • Voltus Feature Set

Everything you need to build at lightning speed

Voltus is crafted to keep you in flow: instant execution pipelines, smart editing that respects your style, and an interface that balances power with clarity. Explore what makes Voltus different.

Feature Highlights

Built hand‑in‑hand with the Voltus IDE feature document for accuracy

Instant Execution

Run JavaScript inside the IDE iframe or in a live Chrome tab via our Chrome extension. Console output is captured, timestamped, and styled per log level.

📝

Ace-powered Editor

Syntax highlighting, line numbers, code folding, minimap, and customizable font/word-wrap settings keep editing fluid.

📂

Tab & Console Control

Unlimited tabs with rename/close actions, clearable console with drag-to-resize handle, and toast-style notifications for every action.

💡

People First UI

Frameless windows, glass morphism, yellow accents, gradients, and tilt effects deliver a focus-first workspace as documented.

🔌

Extension & Automation

Chrome extension communication, toast feedback, and safe execution modes make experimentation reliable while respecting user intent.

🛡️

Safety First

Sandboxed local mode, permissioned browser execution, confirmation dialogs, and signed sessions ensure predictable behavior.

Detail from the documentation

Every highlight below is taken directly from docs/VOLTUS_IDE_FEATURES.md.

Interface & Visuals

  • Frameless window chrome with rounded corners, draggable title bar, and branded logo.
  • Glass morphism, gradients, and subtle shadows with 20px backdrop blur.
  • Yellow (#facc15) highlights on a pure black (#000000) canvas with JetBrains Mono body text.

Editor & Tabs

  • Ace Editor powers syntax highlighting, auto-indent, multiple cursors, and minimap navigation.
  • Unlimited tabs with rename-on-double-click, close icons, plus button, and smooth 3D-hover effects.
  • Settings for font size (12–20px), word wrap, minimap visibility, and future themes.

Execution & Output

  • Local mode runs inside an iframe sandbox; Browser mode communicates with the Chrome extension.
  • Console captures `.log`, `.warn`, `.error` with color-coding and timestamps plus a clear button.
  • Toolbar includes settings gear, script hub, tab browser, open/save placeholders, and clear confirmation.

Interactions & Feedback

  • 3D tilt, hover glows, and scale feedback keep you aware of state changes.
  • Toast notifications (success, error, warning) slide from bottom-right and auto-dismiss.
  • Confirmation modals blur the backdrop, respond to ESC, and emphasize destructive actions.

Safety & Continuity

  • Code isolation prevents iframe code from touching the parent IDE.
  • Chrome extension only runs with `activeTab` permission and triggers from explicit execution.
  • Auto-save on tab switch and session-limited persistence keep data local until the window closes.

Roadmap & Performance

  • Planned additions include Script Hub, file system integration, theming, auto-save to disk, and debugging tools.
  • Performance tuned with `requestAnimationFrame`, debounced minimap rendering, and GPU-accelerated transitions.
  • Chrome extension connection status and execution labels keep you informed.
