Yes, check if you want. I don't even mind AI but snarkily recommending your own project (which has an extremely "default vibed" landing page) as if it's an established tool is bad manners.

Are you using Zed's crate or a private fork?

Based on Zed's gpui but we have applied a lot of patches so it's basically a private fork at this point. We're hoping to work with Zed to upstream these patches!

Yes please. The GPUI ecosystem is too fragmented
