zed
From public sourcesZed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor from the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter, built for developers who want fast, collaborative coding.
Overview
Many code editors feel slow on large projects and make real-time collaboration on code awkward. Zed is a high-performance code editor built to keep typing and navigation responsive while working in big codebases.
Zed is designed for multiplayer work, so developers can edit and review code together in the same session. It comes from the team behind Atom and Tree-sitter, and is available for macOS, Linux and Windows, with installers and package-manager options on its download page.
Zed suits developers who want a fast, native-feel editor for everyday coding and pair programming. Source code is licensed primarily under GPL-3.0-or-later, with Apache-2.0 components where marked, and the project is developed by Zed Industries, Inc., a for-profit company that accepts sponsorship through GitHub Sponsors.
