Page crashes with “a problem repeatedly occurred on $page” on iOS Safari, just fyi

Thanks, looking into it. edit: I think it's from all the videos playing at once, even when not visible. It should be fixed now.

That fixed it :)

pricing page does not at all make clear what isn't included in the free version. you have to pay a monthly subscription for "language support"? does that mean it doesn't "support" languages in the free version? and what does "language support" mean?

Fair. I’ll change the wording so it’s obvious. To answer your question, there’s no difference other than the licensing terms allowing you to use it for commercial work.

I may check this out as I'm between editors currently. Liked zed for a bit, until a blog post showed me how they were installing npm and who knows what else on my PC without me knowing. Used Code for a bit after until suddenly they started requiring AI dependencies just to run the IDE. So hey, why not try something new.

There's a zed minus the iffy bits fork called gram. Haven't used it though, I'm still stuck in Emacs trying to figure out how to get out.

Haha, I'm trying to figure out how to get in!

Quite impressed with a sales page basically telling me to stick with Emacs for now: https://rune.build/coming-from/emacs

Lots of IDEs claim to offer Vim/Emacs emulation. Vim users seem often quite happy with the vim emulation they get (I'm only an occasional Vim user so don't have an opinion).

The issue with emulating Emacs is that the editor key bindings are not the feature. The feature of Emacs is basically an IDE totally tuned to how you want it, plus the fact that then you apply the same ecosystem to a great number of text-adjacent applications - Org, E-mail, code, markdown, etc.

Someone saying to me "hey, you can copy with M-w!" just really doesn't appeal.

Vim seems more about an out-of-the-box "language" for typing, so I can see how you can emulate this more sanely.
