  1. neon

    Rust bindings for writing safe and fast native Node.js modules. (by neon-bindings)

    Great interview!

    Love how much thought is being put into what you “gold-plate”. I’ve always felt that my best work comes around on round two (or three or four…).

    Curious what you are planning for the ability to script the configuration? I haven’t played with zed much yet; is it possible today? Would something like Neon [1] help bridge the gap from VSCode and old Atom users?

  3. zed

    Code at the speed of thought – Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor from the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter.

    Hey! I'm the mentioned Thorsten. Linux is actively being developed. Here's a PR from 2 days ago that shows file-opening in Linux starting to work: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/7852

    And so far Linux support has been a big community effort. I think more community member contributed to Linux support than Zed teammates. Very cool to see.

    So: Linux is in the works. Windows will probably happen after that, or if someone in the community wants to emulate what the Linux users are doing and start before that.

  4. oni2

    Native, lightweight modal code editor

    It was onivim2. Iirc it was a one-man show, and stopped when funding dried up. I also hoped to see a a lot from it. Maybe the dev took too much work on his plate, with an unproven language with limited libraries?

  5. dotfiles

    Configs for apps I care about (by bbkane)

    I switched to iTerm2 a few years ago due to blurry fonts on zoom with Terminal.app . Wonder if that's still a problem?

    A few months ago I switched to WezTerm and, after some config wrestling, I've been very happy using it (https://github.com/bbkane/dotfiles/tree/master/wezterm).
