The full story
Kinoklip is an open-source video editor in C++, built to look and work like DaVinci Resolve on Linux, with H.264, H.265 and AAC support. The maker, a C# game developer, built it with Claude Max and says it covered their whole workflow after four days.
They made it because Resolve is hard to install on Linux and its free version lacks the common codecs there. They also explain why they didn't just use Kdenlive: it works quite differently, and people used to Resolve want something familiar.
