Meanwhile I'm checking Helix editor every 6 month to see if authors became any less hostile to the idea of thinking about considering of starting thinking about potentially adding copilot support. https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/discussions/4037
I tried Zed out and successfully got Claude chat working with my API key. But I'm not sure how to get predictions working. When the predictions on-ramp window popped up asking if I wanted to enable it, I clicked yes and then it prompted me to sign in to Github. Upon approving the request on Github, an error popover over the prediction menubar item at the bottom said "entity not found" or something. Not sure if that's…
I interned at zed during the summer of 2022, when the editor was pre-alpha. Nathan, Max, Antonio are great guys and build software with care. I'm happy to see the editor receive the success it deserves, because the team has poured so much world-class engineering work into it. I worked with Antonio on prototyping the extensions system[0]. In other words, Antonio got to stress test the pair programming collaboration te…
I wish they would have stayed with the collaborative part a bit longer. Once the AI wave hit it feels abandoned with various bugs and hard to reproduce issues. I am a full time zed user converting from sublime only due to the collaborative features, but by now we don't even use the collaborative features anymore because it's unreliable (broken connections, sounds, overwriting changes, weird history/undo behavior), so…
I have run into some problems with it on both Linux and Mac where zed hangs if the computer goes to sleep (meaning when the computer wakes back up, zed is hung and has to be forcibly quit.
Haven't tried the AI agent much yet though. Was using CoPilot, now mostly Claude Code, and the Jetbrains AI agent (with Claude 3.7).

Native 1440p, never used retina nor 4k. (not parent commenter, but hold same opinion)
Same here... 1440p 32" is optimal for me, the only improvement I'd consider right now is 1600p equivalent.
Does it not do incremental edits like Cursor? It seems like the LLM is typing out the whole file internally for every edit instead of diffs, and then re-generates the whole file again when it types it out into the editor.
As a longtime Sublime user, Sublime really needs to step it up. Presumably their silence is because they're (hopefully) releasing something big soon.

> what specific documentation do you think are lacking? Tutorials? examples beyond tiny todo app/best practices would be a great start. > Tutorials? That's for users to write. sure, and how's that going for them? there are near zero tutorials out there, and as someone looking to build a desktop tool in rust, they've lost me. maybe i'm not important enough for them and their primary goal is to intellectually gatekeep…
there are literally dozens of examples, including many apps you can reference. come join the discord and check out the showcase channel. I've written and published probably 50-100 examples to show best practices to people who want to learn more. I basically leave zero questions unanswered on that server, unless they are so far out of my wheelhouse that I can't answer them, but even then I might point you to the right…
This single-handedly convinced me not to rely on anything using Iced. I have no patience left for projects with that low a bus factor.

> iced is basically the brainchild of a single developer (plus core team members who tackle some bits and pieces of the codebase but not frequently), who already has a day time job and is doing this for free.

The point was contradicting another comment with my own experience, not to putz around with bug reports or trouble shooting. I don't care about Zed fixing anything - they're Zed's issues, not mine. All I'm saying is that contrary to what someone else said about the software being "fast" I tried it and at startup, it was unusably slow. I'm what you would call a failed conversion. > Also, how is whether the project is…
> they're Zed's issues, not mine. seems like you needing a GPU would be your issue
