The open ledger and profit-sharing for contributors might be an even more interesting innovation than the IDE itself. I like my existing IDE but Rune looks very nice so I'll certainly give it a whirl.

#12Re: Rune is now open source
#13I'm always looking for new gui code editors. For me right now Vscode is still the top (and since I've been trying Lean out it's required). Zed is a very close second.
One thing I would like to see on the home page is a video showing it being used. Also would like to see how it looks in a light theme. The repository says it's keyboard driven does that mean it's modal or can I still use it like a normal modeless editor?

#14vtebench is just what I've been wanting! Rune looks pretty cool too. Awesome to see people working on polishing things.
I've been building my own editor and gui toolkit, but modeled on Cocoa/OpenStep and similarly found tuning terminal performance involved more about tuning memory access and storage. That sounds somewhat similar to the experience in TFA.

#16(I will try this as soon as there is a package in Fedora... That's my personal subjective bar to choosing a new EDITOR. But I definitely hope this succeeds, I'm a fan so far.)
It’s a long process to get into Fedora, but we’re gonna give it a shot for sure.
Since it's written in Go, you might want to reach out to the Fedora Go SIG and see if they can help you. :)

Fair point. I've been meaning to record a video for a while, but I hate being in front of a camera.
> Also would like to see how it looks in a light theme. Not great. I prefer dark themes so I haven't spent enough time making it look good on a light theme.
> The repository says it's keyboard driven does that mean it's modal or can I still use it like a normal modeless editor? There's three modes, vim, emacs and standard, which determine the key bindings not just when opening a file, but also everywhere else. https://docs.rune.build/learn/standard-editor

#18> we will give participating contributors a contractual right to share in the revenue generated by Rune, directly or indirectly.
this sounds like a terrible idea. the only incentive to contribute to your project should be to fix a bug or contribute a feature upstream you yourself need.
consider the fallout of Hacktoberfest, 'Tide' or the ai produced PR spam for social clout on GitHub as of today and then imagine what happens if someone provides a direct financial incentive to do it.
Re: Rune is now open source
#19I like the idea of making it trivial to work across multiple machines but I’d really prefer not to have to trust your coordination server and encryption approach etc. Could this (optionally) just run over Tailscale (I suppose ssh is always an option) https://docs.rune.build/learn/network
Yes, SSH is always an option, but it could totally work with a Tailscale network. In fact, we embed tsnet in Rune and use headscale as the coordination server, so there's nothing special about Rune's network. In the future, we're planning on adding more clients (iOS, Android), so hopefully it'll be more compelling then.

what about flatpak?
I've been using Arch Linux and macOS for the longest time, so I never saw the appeal with flatpak. It could be a good option until Rune is popular enough. fwiw I'm also working on a cask for homebrew.
