Score: 5.0/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 5, Documentation: 3, Utility: 6)

STAX IDE is a macOS-only spatial terminal IDE that lets users arrange terminal stacks on a zoomable canvas, with features like per-stack tabs, scratch notes, and session persistence. Its novel approach of combining a spatial canvas with terminal workspaces is interesting, but the closed-source nature and limited documentation hinder deeper evaluation.

Target audience: backend devs
