PiST - the Atari ST Assembly IDE with batteries included

https://github.com/idontwantyourspamthanks/PiST/releases
This is PiST. Program In ST. Sorry, couldn't help myself. It works definitely on Linux, almost certainly on Windows and possibly on Mac (I can't afford one so the build for Mac is purely theoretical - testers welcome).
What do you get?
- Full IDE with built-in Hatari fork and vasm - no config required
- Great debugging tools - registers, memory editing, breakpoints, symbols, a guide to GEMDOS calls, all in one package
- Mcp server if you want to do any vibe coding
Oh yeah and it comes with a sprite editor.

And that sprite editor that can read and write a bunch of formats including exporting pre-shifted and masked sprites and palette data ready to use, including a sample file to show that sprite moving around the screen.
Coming soon, a whole bunch of learning tools built in.
I'm incredibly proud of the work I've put into this, and trust me it's a hell of a lot. 25 years of software development and this is the coolest thing I've ever made, I hope you guys like it too.
