This article is about porting Zed (which is written in Rust) to Linux and some of the choices that were made.

But nothing about what Zed is. (Except that it's a framework (or platform)).

Some troubleshooting tips:

- Move your mouse cursor to the "Zed Industries" icon in the upper-left-hand-corner, then click.

- This "hypertext link" will instruct your browser to load the site's root "index.html", sometimes known as a "landing page".

- The "landing page" is a great place to start if you're unfamiliar with a site or product! Here, you'll find the following text prominently displayed:

"Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor from the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter. It's also open source."

Hope this helps!

Some troubleshooting tips while dispensing dickface advice: There is no such logo.

(If there is for you, good for you. Some information for you, different browsers get fed different content, iyt's a new thing that only started around 1993 so I can see how you weren't aware.)

Actually there is one, 7000 pages down at the bottom, embedded in the footer and not looking at all clickable.

"Hope this helps!"

To be fair, the logo is like 2px tall on Firefox Android...

that is my bad – someone flagged this before and I forgot to fix it. A quick fix is deploying now!

It's a blog post directly on their website. Is it really unreasonable to need to click to the home page for more context?

At the time you posted this comment, there was no link to the home page for mobile devices. Also, on mobile devices it's a pain to edit the URL in the address bar. You could have gone to the About page, but there's no summary. You'd gather right away that this was about an editor, but you'd have to read quite a bit about history, goals, etc. before you find out what differentiates this editor from any other editor.

Fair. I checked the site on my laptop and the logo at the top left easily got me to the homepage that described the editor.

People on the internet expect everything to be spoonfed to them.

Kinda wild to me that people who frequent a website that bills itself as a site for news for "hackers" show such a nil-level of ability to comprehend anything themselves.

This website allows extremely vituperative people to make their points without being banned as long as they follow the rules. My account being the primary example.

That this website is littered with retarded morons that cannot handle the slightest bit of pure direct argumentation is more a function of the times, where heavy-handed moderation fills in for massive gaps in their vacuous perspective, which in any other situation completely undermines one's understanding of the world outside a pseudo-intellectual bubble.

The moderates here do better than any other online, IMO. And I say that knowing the moderators here do not unflag some of my comments because it's ideologically inconvenient to them personally.

Maybe because it works to often..

While it's hard to separate them, derision and mockery aren't considered ad hominem insults to vacuous and lazy commentary.

When you eliminate all human repercussions for acting like a moron, even if it's as small as feeling bad, one should expect to see more idiocy.

The logo in the top left leads to the startpage, explaining what zed is:

[..]Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor from the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter. It's also open source.[..]

Not sure if I should care, but more fast modern editors are good. But if they only just now got linux-support, then I think they will still need much much love to reach a good shape.
