My agent writes the code now. I built an IDE for the part that's left: reading it.

Description and use

Reado is an IDE that lets developers read and comment on AI‑generated code, preserving comments across edits and allowing approval of agent proposals.

Problem

Editors built around cursor/keyboard make interacting with AI code generators cumbersome; locating and commenting on generated code is hard.

Outcome

Reado enables efficient, trust‑based review of AI‑written code by anchoring comments, providing a contract‑based task system, and allowing the developer to approve AI proposals before they are committed.

Workflow

• Read code in Reado’s viewer that tracks what has been read and what changed.
• Annotate by selecting lines and leaving a typed comment (bug, refactor, question).
• Send review: click to hand open tasks to the agent via Reado’s terminal integration.
• Watch the agent resolve tasks live and jump to changes since last read.

Evidence

Every editor I use is built around the cursor and the keyboard.

Source

I built Reado: a desktop IDE where the main thing you do is read, and the main action is leaving a comment on the exact lines that matter.

Source

Comments have to survive edits.

Source

Give the agent a contract, not a prompt.

Let the agent propose, never decide.
