It is not my project.
I was looking for a lite version of Zed IDE without AI integrations, collab feature, telemetry etc and suddenly found it ^_^
I didn’t test it excessively yet, but definitely give a try.
If you already tried it, please share your opinions.

I like Zed for the AI features, but it’s nice that there’s an alternative for people who don’t.
Sounds like a comment written by a bot. It’s superficially repeating back to you the title+body of the post. Then you check the user’s history and it’s some “death to US” shit that looks like it’s meant to encourage people in the west to take up arms against their governments. We try to fashion a federated reddit alternative and instead get slammed with Kremlinbots.
Our instance is anarchist, seems pretty in line with normal sentiment. The user patterns also do not suggest bot activity.
the Kremlin is the throne of a dictator, and Russia is an imperialist shithole that disrespects human rights and oppresses LGBTQ+ people.
and I wish death to all states. I’m an anarchist, you knob. especially imperialist states like Russia, China, and the United States and Israel. death to them most of all.
I use AI extensively, but I don’t need it to write my comments. I can be the shittiest person you’ve seen on fedi without an LLM, thank you very much.
does that comment sound like it was written by a bot, you slack-jawed slopper? <img alt="" src="https://anarchaos.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com/posts/LI/ue/LIueswwl8Awuosk.png">
I’ve kept my eye on this, not due to the AI, but because Zed is a scumbag organization that thinks mandatory opt-out arbitration is okay, because they don’t think their users should have rights. You of course don’t have to sign in but it still indicates they are an evil organization. Alas, I just keep on being super happy with Neovim so I don’t use it.
I switched to helix, but I still sometimes open zed. I tested gram today and it looks promising , so zed is going to the garbage bin.
Sooo evil, making a great editor available completely for free that you don’t have to use at all. How dare they? Practically Hitler!
The entitlement is off the scale…
What the hell are you on about? I don’t think I’m entitled to use their editor, hence as I said, not doing so. But I do think I’m entitled to my right to trial provided by a public institution with public accountability rather than a private organization with no accountability and no right to appeal.
You don’t have to be comparing something to Hitler to call it evil, which requiring people opt-out of giving up rights is. But hey… Stans gonna Stan.
I tried their editor a few times and found it a bit hard to get used to coming from VS Code. The thing that sank the ship for me honestly was when I found out that they don’t support PDF previews in the editor. Given that I use VS Code to also write LaTeX documents, that is an essential feature for me that they seemed very opinionated about not including based on the issues I’ve seen on their git
I am using gram for regular development and it works very well. Do not do any fancy stuff but auto-completion works fine as well as navigating the code base.
Give me good ol’ Sublime Text.
That sounds sublime
I’ve been using this daily since version 1.0.0 was released 2 months ago. Very few complaints.
I tried Zed some time ago and it simply wasn’t better than nvim.
