Hi HN! I'd like to submit for your consideration Tritium (Tritium | Integrated drafting environment for Lawyers). Tritium aims to bring the power of the integrated development environment (IDE) to corporate lawyers.
My name is Drew Miller, and I'm lawyer admitted to the New York bar. I have spent the last 13 years in and out of corporate transactional practice, while building side projects in various languages using vanilla Vim. One day at work, I was asked to implement a legal technology product at my firm. Of course the only product available for editing and running programs in a locked-down environment was VS Code and its friends like Puppeteer from Microsoft.
I was really blown away at all of the capabilities of go-to definition and out-of-the box syntax highlighting as well as the debugger integration. I made the switch to a full IDE for my side projects immediately. And it hit me: why don't we have this exact same tool in corporate law?
Corporate lawyers spent hours upon hours fumbling between various applications and instances of Word and Adobe. There are sub-par differencing products that make
I left my practice a few months later to build Tritium. Tritium aims to be the lawyer's VS Code: an all-in-one drafting cockpit that treats a deal's entire document suite as a single, searchable, AI-enhanced workspace while remaining fast, local, and secure.
Tritium is implemented in pure Rust. It is cross-platform and I'm excited for the prospect of lawyers running Linux as their daily driver. It leverages a modified version of the super fast egui.rs immediate-mode GUI library. The windows build includes a Rust COM implementation which was probably one of the more technical challenges other than laying out and rendering the text.
