I do think gpui needs a native input element (enough that I wrote one ( https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/43576 ) just before they stopped reviewing gpui prs) but outside of that I think it is pretty o

Cool, I'll take a look. gpui will support web eventually - we always planned it, and i've tinkered with some folks on the team on it a bit. The problem is the crate needs to split into core/web/native (and maybe mobile?)

They haven't. They are just heads down on other work. It wouldn't make sense for them to abandon it - they have no alternative. What that message was about was supporting _community_ prs and development of gpui. Focus ebbs and flo

I would be curious to hear about where folks are finding gaps in the rust ui ecosystem though... I've written quite a lot of rust UI code for Zed over the past few years so I'm mostly familiar with the pros and cons of gpui, but I

I started the gpui-ce fork but I'm becoming somewhat more interested in a fresh framework that is more aligned with the rust ecosystem in general - using crates like glam/glamour, parley, palette, etc Lots of gpui was built with b

I don't work at zed anymore but I do find it funny that anyone would think that the collaboration features of zed are "tacked on"... We started building zed in zed using it's collaboration in early 2021. Collaboration ha

Thanks, I'll take a look at these. We aren't done–A good amount of the Zed team uses our assistant heavily every day so we'll continue to refine it. I shared this with the team. I need to spend some time in Cursor to understa

Hey! I'm Nate from Zed. There are a lot of questions about this, here are some quick thoughts... Cursor is great – We explored an alternate approach to our assistant similar to theirs as well, but in the end we found we wanted to lean

Haha I actually agree – I always prefer them side by side. We don't have side-by-side diffs yet, but once we do I'll make sure it works here :)

Hey! I'm Nate from Zed. You can also use the /file command to drop entire directories, or even globs into the assistant. For example, you can do /file *.rs to load all of the rust files in your project into context. Here is a

Hey, this is Nate from Zed. Give the inline assistant a try. Here is a little demo: https://share.cleanshot.com/F2mg2lXy You can even edit the prompt after the fact if the diff doesn't show what you want and regenerate

This is actually the first time I’ve seen someone unhappy with search - can you tell me a bit more what you are looking for? There is lots of room for improvement of course, but I’d love to hear what your desired search experience is.

Lots of the app’s UI right now is a layer of components on top of gpui (check out the ui crate!) that are pretty Zed-specific at the moment. Some of these things will likely be made more general and have dedicated gpui elements built for th

We have a couple of blog posts digging into gpui, but here is one from just after rewriting and shipping gpui2: https://zed.dev/blog/gpui-ownership We’ve slowly been building out gpui to be super ergonomic and fluid fo

Hey! Nate from Zed here - have you had issues with proportional fonts in Zed? Let us know if so - they should just work™, but would love to know if that is not the case.

you can build zed for linux, today :) https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/docs/src/dev...

that is my bad – someone flagged this before and I forgot to fix it. A quick fix is deploying now!

we absolutely want to make accessibility work – hopefully open source will give us a bit more wiggle room to have folks help us figure some of it out as well.

CMD+K->CMD+T can get you there one step quicker! At least these days we order the themes by dark then light... Themes used to be grouped by name, so you would get rainbow flashbanged moving down the list!

Disclaimer: I work at Zed! This wasn't our intended behavior for this. A team member just dug into our implementation of LSHandlerRank and it looks like we are using "Default". Apple's definition of the "Default&quo

Awesome to see Steve's hard work taking off. TLDraw feels so good to use and I love watching him obsess over the little details on twitter.

Apologies, looks like we underestimated how heavy the autoplaying diagrams would be. If you could try again in about 5 minutes and see if you still have the problem I'd appreciate it! Sorry for the hassle.

I may be biased, but at least sublime fast, hopefully much faster! Moving to Zed felt like going from a 30fps to 144fps. You should be able to open stupidly big files and shouldn't experience much to any lag. Nathan has a demo he likes

it's less about being exclusive and more about getting feedback on the specific features we are focusing on and building at the moment. For now, people pairing/collaboratively writing Rust is our focus, and we are pulling people i
