I remember listening to a changelog episode about zed ages ago. I liked what I heard about but that fact it's not for Linux just now and I don't have any friends to code with means I'd likely not use it.

#12Zed developers, if you read this, please get inspired by Cursors "Fix it" button that you can click on any error. It simply starts a new chat with the code context and error message, suggesting possible fixes.
I'm currently learning Rust and this is such a powerup that I honestly wouldn't know how to learn anything without.

#15I hope this leads to Zed being ported to other platforms (Linux, please!)
Hey! Engineer at Zed here. Linux port is on our roadmap. Hopefully we'll get it done this year!

#16Tangent: I wish we could standardize real-time code sharing the same way we have with LSPs. It is sad that if you want to pair-program, both have to be using the same editor. It really makes more sense to have one standard format so that one person can use VSCode and another can use Vim or Zed. If you want to make it standard practice you have to enforce everyone to use the same editor, which sucks. Already at work s…

#17How many people find real time sharing helpful? I've never found it to be beneficial. I'm curious.
The benefit as a viewer is you can drive navigation on your own without asking the presenter to go to a certain spot. So the presenter can be discussing a problem or a function, and you can investigate/gather context without interrupting them, among other things.
I personally can't live without it, and am almost annoyed when folks aren't using VSCode/have no way of doing a live share. Screen share sucks.

#18Also take a look at their freshly open-sourced Rust UI Framework (GPUI): https://www.gpui.rs
So excited about this. Been watching it for a while. Thanks for posting it!

With Neovims headless capabilities, I am hoping for the day every major IDE and editor has first party support as a front-end for Neovim, and then any Neovim plugin just becomes universal across all IDEs and editors. Which... you can make Neovim plugins in almost any language, I've seen bindings for "lesser popular" languages.
I'm not even a vim guy, but if JetBrains finally adds front-end support for Neovim, I might just become a de-facto VIM guy. Instead of emulating vim like they do, they could just literally support Neovim as a back-end. I'm still surprised nobody at JetBrains has put in effort into this.

Same here, for me it is a gimmick without much value over a screen sharing session.
